"y varies directly as x" means y = kx
you do not know what k is yet, other than that it is some constant number.
Now plug in the given values, y=12 when x=4, in the equation
12 = 4k
=> k = 3
Now rewrite the equation with the k value you just found
y = 3k
Substitute 18 in place of x
y = 3(18)
y = 54

That question is accompanied by these answer choices:
<span>A. The scale is accurate but not precise.
B. The scale is precise but not accurate.
C. The scale is neither precise nor accurate.
D. The scale is both accurate and precise.
Then you need to distinguish between accuracy and precision.
Accuracy refers to the closeness of the measure to the real value, while precision, in this case, refers to the level of significant figures that the sacle report.
The fact that the scale reports the number with 4 significant figures means that it is very precise, but the fact that the result is not so close to the real value as the number of significan figures pretend to be, means that the scale is not accurate.
So, the answer is that the scale is precise but not accurate (the option B</span>
