The value of y varies directly with x. When x = 14, y = 35.

Question

What is the value of y when x=16?
A. 37
B. 6.4
C.40
D. 37.5

Answer 1

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.
