Y varies inversely as X. y=4 when x=2. Find y when x=16

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use a proportion to solve this.

Now, we cross multiply.

2y = 16 x 4

2y = 64

Now, we must divide by 2 to get the correct value for y

y = 64/2

y = 32

Now, we can use the same proportion to check our answer.

2(32) = 16 x 4

64 = 64 ✅

  y = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse relation means ...

  y = k/x

We can find k from ...

  xy = k = (2)(4) = 8

Then when x = 16, we have ...

  y = 8/x = 8/16 = 1/2

y is 1/2 when x = 16.
