Question

the ratios are directly proportional. find the missing variable.
if \\(y_1 = 12\\), \\(x_2 = 4\\), and \\(y_2 = 12\\), what is the value of \\(x_1\\)?

Explanation:

Set up the direct proportion equation

$$ \frac{y_1}{x_1} = \frac{y_2}{x_2} $$

Substitute the given values

$$ \frac{12}{x_1} = \frac{12}{4} $$

Solve for the missing variable

$$ x_1 = 4 $$

Answer:

The ratios are directly proportional. Find the missing variable.
If \(y_1 = 12\), \(x_2 = 4\), and \(y_2 = 12\), what is the value of \(x_1\)?
