can someone please check my answer :p

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: if x varies directly with y, then the realtionship between x and y is: \[\Large y = kx\] where k is a numeric constant

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

in other words the ratio between y and x has to remain constant: \[\Large \frac{y}{x} = k = {\text{constant}}\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please note these ratios: \[\begin{gathered} \frac{4}{{16}} = ...? \hfill \\ \hfill \\ \frac{{16}}{{32}} = ...? \hfill \\ \hfill \\ \frac{{36}}{{48}} = ...? \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

are they equals each other?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so, what can you conclude?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right!
