m =ky
6 =k*36
k = 1/6

If m varies directly as y m=ky, where k is a constant. Here 6=kx36. Solve for k=1/6.

hi,
we need to find the constant that makes this direct relation work.
m = Cy, where C is the constant we are trying to find.
m = 6, y = 36
6 = 36C
C = 1/6
the constant we are looking for is 1/6, therefore the answer is choice A. 1/6
