Answer

Option B is correct.

(12/5) = 2.4

Step-by-step explanation

If a varies directly as b, which can be written as

a ∝ b

Introducing the constant of variation, k, we have

a ∝ b

a = kb

Looking at the options, we can see that the last three options are the only ones in this form and of the three of them, only option B has the value before b equal to 2.4

Hope this Helps!!!
