Answer
View full question & answer→Since x and y vary inversely, we have:
xy = k
For x = 16 and y = 4, we have:
16 × 4 = k
⇒ k = 64
For x = 32 and k = 64, we have:
xy = k
$\Rightarrow32\text{y}=64$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}=\frac{64}{32}$
$=2$
For x = 8 and k = 64
xy = k
$\Rightarrow8\text{y}=64$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}=\frac{64}{8}$
$=8$
xy = k
For x = 16 and y = 4, we have:
16 × 4 = k
⇒ k = 64
For x = 32 and k = 64, we have:
xy = k
$\Rightarrow32\text{y}=64$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}=\frac{64}{32}$
$=2$
For x = 8 and k = 64
xy = k
$\Rightarrow8\text{y}=64$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}=\frac{64}{8}$
$=8$
