Answer:

R = 42

Explanation:

given R is directly proportional to T , then the equation relating them is

R = kT ← k is the constant of proportion

to find k use the condition R = 60 when T = 10

60 = 10k ( divide both sides by 10 )

6 = k

R = 6T ← equation of proportion

when T = 7 , then

R = 6 × 7 = 42
