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
