The value of y varies directly with x, and when x =1/4, y = 25. What is the value of y when x is 2 1/3?

213 1/4

14 1/2

9 1/3

233 1/3

1 answer

9 1/3

Using the information given in the problem, we can set up a proportion to find the value of y when x is 2 1/3:

(y/25) = ((7/3)/(1/4))

Solving for y:

y = 25 * (7/3) * (1/4)
y = 25 * 7/12
y = 175/12
y = 14 7/12

Therefore, when x is 2 1/3, y is approximately 14 1/2.
