Solving a Proportional Relationship Question
To solve the question in the image, which states "y = 96 when x = 4, find y when x = 2," we need to determine the relationship between x and y. Since the relationship isn't provided, we have to make some assumptions. If the relationship between x and y is directly proportional, then halving x should halve y.
Given that y = 96 when x = 4, if we make x half of what it is, which would be 2, then y should also be half of 96 if the relation is directly proportional:
y = 96 / 2
y = 48
Therefore, if the relationship between x and y is direct proportionality, when x = 2, y would be 48.
However, without more information about the relationship between x and y, a specific and definitive answer cannot be reached. This answer is based on the assumption of a direct proportion between x and y.
