@sheelo:  Beware:  OpenStudy is not a source of free answers; you yourself must be involved in finding the solutions of the problems you post.  What do you need to know to begin the solution of this problem?

anonymous · Answer

here x=k/y 1st find k

if x=2 y=20 then so

2=k/20 =>k=40

now if x=5 and k=40

then 5=40/y
=>y=40/5=8
so y=8
