Question Suppose y varies directly with x, and y = 25 when x = 140. What is the value of x when y = 36? (1 point) Responses 140 140 165 165 201.6 201.6 176
To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion:
y1/x1 = y2/x2
Plugging in the given values:
25/140 = 36/x
Cross multiplying:
25 * x = 140 * 36
Dividing both sides by 25:
x = (140 * 36)/25 = 201.6
So, the value of x when y = 36 is 201.6.
