Question

If y is directly proportional to x and y =1200 when x=30, then what is the value of x when y=30?

Answer 1

Y= 30

X= 0.75

Explanation:

If the first Y was 1,200 and X was 30, then that means every time your divide Y by 40, you will get your X. It's the exact opposite if you want to find Y.

So you want to divide your Y, which is 30, by 40. Once who find your answer, you should have gotten 0.75 for X.

Why divide by 40? Good question. You divide by 40 because if you multiply your X example Y= 1,200, X= 30, you will get 30x40 which is 1,200. Do it the other way around divide 1,200 by 40, you get 30.

All in all your answer should be X= 0.75. If not tell me.
