Question

The variables y and x have a proportional relationship, and y = 24 when x = 16.

What is the value of x when y = 36?

x = 16
x = 24
x = 36
x = 54

Answer 1

x=24 or B is the correct answer.

I took the test, and this was the correct answer. Hope this helped-!

Answer 2

b) x = 24

Explanation:

if y is 24 and x is 16, they make the fraction
`(24)/(16)`

this can be simplified to
`(3)/(2)` if you divide both sides of the fraction by 8.

36/3 is 12, and 12 * 2 = 24.

so, x = 24
