Question

If x varies inversely as y and y = 40, when x = 1.5. Find x, when y = 6.0.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Value of x is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

It is given that : x varies inversely as y .

Let xy=k(constant)...(i)

If x=1.5 and y=40.

xy=1.5×40=60

k=60

when y=6.0, then from eq(i)

x×6.0=60

x=60÷6.0=10

Hence, value of x is 10.
