If y is inversely proportional to x and y =5 when x = 2 find the value of y when x = 8​

y = 10/8 = 1.125 or 1 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse proportion means

xy = a constant.

In this case, the constant is given by the example,

x = 2 when y=5, so

xy=10

when x = 8, then

y = 10/8 = 1.125 or 1 1/4

step-by-step explanation:

calculate the scale factor as the ratio of corresponding sides, image to original, that is

scale factor = = = = 1

7 ft 6 in means 7 1/2, because 6 in is 1/2 of a foot. 7 ft 8 in means 7 2/3 because 8 in is 2/3 of a foot. 23/3 = 7 2/3. 15/2 = 7 1/2.

23/3   *   15/2   = 57 1/2
