Answer:
B = 1.875
Step-by-step explanation:
given that A varies directly as B and inversely as C then the equation relating them is
A = [tex]\frac{kB}{C}[/tex] ← k is the constant of variation
to find k use the condition A = 12 when B = 3 and C = 2 , then
12 = [tex]\frac{3k}{2}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )
24 = 3k ( divide both sides by 3 )
8 = k
A = [tex]\frac{8B}{C}[/tex] ← equation of variation
when A = 10 and C = 1.5 , then
10 = [tex]\frac{8B}{1.5}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 1.5 )
15 = 8B ( divide both sides by 8 )
1.875 = B
