Explanation:
Y is directly proportional to X" can be rewritten as a mathematical expression of the form Y = KX
"K" is the constant of proportionality and must be determined from the initial information.
If Y = 2/3 when X=1/12means 2/3=1/12
K = 2/3÷1/12 = 8
Now that we know the value of K, we can use it to calculate the value of Y when X=1/2
Y = (8)(1/2) = 8/2=4
Y=4
