Answer:
Y=40
Step-by-step explanation:
Due to the nature of both X and Y varying directly, you can view the problem as a proportion. If x=6 and y=30, that must mean that when x=8 y must equal 40.
6:30 = 8:40
or
30/6= 5
Y/8= 5
Because they vary directly they are equivalent, and so multiply 8 by 5 and get 40.
