Q3) If B is directly proportional to A and B = 3 when A = 18, find the value of B when A = 24.

Answer :

Answer:

B = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that B is directly proportional to A then the equation relating them is

B = kA ← k is the constant of proportionality

To find k use the condition B = 3 when A = 18 , then

3 = 18k ( divide both sides by 18 )

k = [tex]\frac{3}{18}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

B = [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] A ← equation of proportion

When A = 24, then

B = [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] × 24 = 4
