Direct proportionality indicates a situation in which, when one term is multiplied by a certain amount, the same exact thing happens to the second term.
In the same way, when one term is divided by a certain amount, the same exact thing happens to the second term.
The ratio between both magnitudes remains constant.
Let's observe an example that illustrates this concept.
