Proportion
1.

y is directly proportional to x. Given that y

= 144 when x = 12, find the value of y
when x = 7.

2.

y is directly proportional to x. Given that y

= 294 when x = 3, find the value of y when
x = 13.

3.

z is directly proportional to w. Given that z

= 315 when w = 7, find the value of z
when w = 105.

4.

y is directly proportional to the square of x.

Given that y = 20 when x = 2, find the
value of y when x = 4.

5.

v is directly proportional to the square of t.

Given that v = 200 when t = 10.
a) find the value of v when t = 30.

b) Find the value of t when v= 5000

6.

y is inversely proportional to x. Given that

y = 12 when x = 6, find the value of y
when x = 8.

7.

h is inversely proportional to k. Given that

h= 24 when k = 2, find the value of h when
k = 8.

8.

y is inversely proportional to x. Given that

y = 12 when x = 1, find the value of y
when x = 4.

9.

y is inversely proportional to the square of

x. Given that y = 3 when x = 4, find the
value of y when x = 12.

10. z is inversely proportional to the square of

w. Given that z = 32 when w = 4, find the
value of z when w = 2.
