Two numbers or variables are directly proportional if their ratio is constant.

Put another way, two numbers or variables are directly proportional if one of them is a constant multiple of the other.

a is proportional to b ( a ∝ b ) if

a/b= constant or equivalently a=b x (constant)

When to numbers or variables are directly proportional, if one doubles the other doubles,

if one is halved the other is halved, etc.

What is the relationship between pressure and the amount of a gas?

Pressure and the amount of gas are directly proportional, according to Boyle's Law. This means that as the amount of gas increases, the pressure it exerts also increases, assuming the temperature and volume remain constant. Conversely, if the amount of gas decreases, the pressure decreases as well.
