What is the value of y if x = 4 for y = 6/x?

  1. 6

  2. 8

  3. 12

  4. 24

The correct answer is: 12

The equation y = 6/x can be rewritten as y = 6/4, since x = 4. Simplifying 6/4 gives a value of 3/2, or 1.5. Therefore, the value of y is 1.5. Option A is incorrect because 6 is the numerator of the fraction, not the value of y itself. Option B is incorrect as it would only be applicable if x was equal to 8. Option D is incorrect as it does not align with the equation given. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
