If y = kx, what is the value of x if y = 0.33 and k = 1/4? a) 0.08 b) 0.33 c) 0.50 d) 1.32

y = kx
x = y/k if y = 0.33 and k = 1/4
x = 0.33/0.25
x = 1.32

answer
D)1.32

Best answer that i found on yahoo ok   set :   x= length of 2nd piece in cm  x- 3= length of 1st piece in cm  x-4= length of 3rd piece in cm  then since you know they all came from the 20 cm ribbon you add them together and set them equal to 20x+ x-3 +x-4 = 20  3x - 7= 20  3x= 27  x= 9  the shortest piece is the third piece which is x- 4  x-4  9-4 = 5  the length of the smallest piece is 5 cm.  the other lengths are  9 cm  6 cm
