If y varies directly as x and y = 11 when x = 2.5, find y when x = 27.5.

121

Step-by-step explanation:

you can either set up a proportion or a table (i inserted a picture for both ways!) After setting up a table you would calculate how much it is to get from 2.5 to 27.5 (so you divide 27.5/2.5) to get 11. Then you move to the y side of the table where you would have to multiply 11×11 to get your answer (which is 121)

Best answer that i found on yahoo ok   set :   x= length of 2nd piece in cm  x- 3= length of 1st piece in cm  x-4= length of 3rd piece in cm  then since you know they all came from the 20 cm ribbon you add them together and set them equal to 20x+ x-3 +x-4 = 20  3x - 7= 20  3x= 27  x= 9  the shortest piece is the third piece which is x- 4  x-4  9-4 = 5  the length of the smallest piece is 5 cm.  the other lengths are  9 cm  6 cm
