Answer:
The value of y becomes 1/3 of the original.
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 5/x
The value of x tripling is same as dividing both sides by 3.
y/3 = (5/x)/3
y/3 = 5/3x
1/3y = 5/3x
Let’s check.
Put x as 10 in the original equation.
5/(10)
1/2
Put x as 10 in the new equation.
5/3(10)
5/30
1/6
1/6 is one-third of 1/2.
1/2 × 1/3 = 1/6
