Tyson is 6 feet 2 inches tall. There are 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch. What is Tyson's height in centimeters? A. 20.32 cm

B. 187.96 cm

C. 177.80 cm

D. 15.78 cm

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given y varies directly with x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the given condition when y = 16, x = 4

16 = 4k ( divide both sides by 4 )

k = 4

y = 4x ← equation of variation

When y = 36, then

36 = 4x ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 9
