Answer: 12

Explanation:

Since value of y varies directly with x, we introduce a constant, k which will give:

y = kx

If x = 4, then y = 20 we then calculate the value of k.

y = kx

20 = 4k

k = 20/4

k = 5

We then find the value of x when y = 60. This will be:

y = kx

60 = 5x

x = 60/5

x = 12

The value of x is 12 when y is 60
