To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion:
Since y varies directly with x, we can write the proportion as:
y/x = k
Where k is the constant of variation.
We are given that y = 25 when x = 140. Plugging these values into the proportion, we get:
25/140 = k
Simplifying this fraction, we find that:
1/7 = k
Now, we can use this value of k to find the value of x when y = 36:
36/x = 1/7
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
36 * 7 = 1 * x
x = 252/1
x = 252
So, the value of x when y = 36 is 252.
Suppose y varies directly with x, and y = 25 when x = 140. What is the value of x when y = 36?
