Formula:
Direct proportion describes a relationship where two quantities increase or decrease in the same ratio. If 'A' is directly proportional to 'B', and 'C' is directly proportional to 'X', the formula can be expressed as:
A/B = C/X
Where A, B, and C are known values, and X is the unknown value you want to find. To solve for X, the formula is rearranged to:
X = (C * B) / A
This formula allows you to determine a missing value when three other values in a directly proportional relationship are known.
