Stretching of a Spring

According to Hooke's Law, the force needed to stretch a spring is proportional to the amount the spring is stretched. If fifty pounds of force stretches a spring five inches, how much will the spring be stretched by a force of 120 pounds?

F = force

k = constant of proportionality

s = spring

Here is my equation:

F = sk

Is this correct? If it is, I can then take it from here.
