Answer:
y = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
if y varies directly with x then we need to find the constant of variation, known as 'k'
y = kx
8/3 = 1/4k
divide each side by 1/4 to find 'k':
8/3 ÷ 1/4 is the same as 8/3 x 4/1, which is 32/3
now we can use 32/3 and 9/8 to find 'y':
y = 32/3 x 9/8
y = 32·9/3·8
y = 288/24
y = 12
