Inverse proportion:  y = k/x

Givens:  5 = k/12.  Then k = 60, and so y = 60/x.

Now, if x = 120, y = 60/120 = 1/2 (answer)

Answer:

y=[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] or 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that [tex]y=kx[/tex]

Where x and y are variables and k is the constant.

Inversely proportion is given by :  [tex]y=\frac{k}{x}[/tex]

Now first we will find the value of 'k'

for x=12 as y=5

[tex]5=\frac{k}{12}[/tex]

[tex]k=60[/tex]

Now we have to find what is the value of y when x=120

[tex]y=\frac{60}{x}[/tex]

putting x = 120;

[tex]y=\frac{60}{120}[/tex] =[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] or 0.5
