If you multiply 12 by 0.1, you get 1.2. To write this as a function you would say y is x multiplied by 0.1.
y=0.1x

OLEGan [10]

Answer: 1 : 1.48

Step-by-step explanation:

Adam was able to change £400 into 592 francs which means that the British pound is stronger because it was able to buy more Swiss francs.

The exchange rate can be gotten using direct proportion:

400 : 592

x = 592/400

x = 1.48

Exchange rate is:

= 1 : 1.48
