To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion:
y/x = 35/14
To find y when x = 16, we can solve for y:
y/16 = 35/14
Cross multiplying, we get:
14y = 560
Dividing both sides by 14, we get:
y = 40
Therefore, the value of y when x = 16 is 40. The correct answer is C. 40.
The value of y varies directly with x. When x = 14, y = 35.
