Instead of your problem, I'll do one exactly like it except for the numbers.

Given that T varies directly as S, and T = 56 when S = 8, find T when S = 3. 
Given that T varies directly as S, 

T=k%2AS

and T = 56 when S = 8, 

56=k%2A8

56%2F8=%28k%2A8%29%2F8

7=k

T=7%2AS

find T when S = 3.

T=7%2A3

T=21

Now do yours with your numbers exactly the same way.
