1.If x varies inversely with y and x = 4 when y = 8, find x when y = 16.

    x = k/y 4 = k/8 k = 32 x = 32/y When y = 16, x = 32/16 x = 2

    You first write down x=k/y, where k=the constant of variation, then find k with the given condition (4,8). After finding k, calculate x with the given value of y=8.
