The value of y is directly proportional to the value of x. Given y = 12 when x = 36.
What is the value of y when x = 60? Show your work to receive full credit
The problem states that y = 12 when x = 36. 36/12 is 3. This means that y is a third of what x is. This would mean that if x = 60, y would be a third of 60 which is 20 since 60/3 is 20.
