Neither. Many items of expenditure would be shared (eg housing, utilities, transport, holidays) so the proportion would not be direct. But it would be closer to direct than inverse.

How do you solve the proportion of something?

There cannot be a "proportion of something": proportion is a relationship between two things, and how you solve it depends on whether they (or their transformations) are in direct proportion or inverse proportion.


Is distance traveled versus time at a constant speed a direct or inverse porportion?

Think about it. If you travel for more time, would you advance a greater distance (that would be a direct proportion), or less distance (that would be an inverse proportion)?


What is definition of inverse and direct proportion?

Direct proportion means as the independent variable increases, the dependent variable increases, and vice versa. Inverse propostion means just the opposite. As the independent variable increses, the dependent variable decreases, and vice versa.

What it is inverse and direct proportion?

Direct Proportion means that as one increases, the other also increases.Inverse proportion is the reciprocal of direct proportion. If something is in the direct proportion of 1:3, then the inversion proportion is 3:1.OrIndirect Proportion means that as one increases the other decreases, or one is directly proportional to 1 divided by the other. Example: Pressure is indirectly proportional to volume, or Pressure is directly proportional to 1/Volume.

How do you determine direct and inverse proportion on graphs?

If the variables x and y are in direct proportion then the graph of y against x is a straight line through the origin. If the variables x and y are in inverse proportion then the graph of y against x is a rectangular hyperbola. Alternatively, the graph of y against 1/x (or 1/y against x) is a straight line through the origin.


If y14 then x8 find y when x12?

It is not possible to answer the question since there is no information as to whether the relationship between x and y is one of direct proportion, inverse proportion or something else.
