Suppose x is directly proportional to y, but inversely proportional to z. If x=3 when y=6 and z=4, then what is z when y=3?

Not enough info here....to see why

 

x  = k * y  / z

 

3 =  k * (6)  / 4

 

12  =  6k

 

2  = k

 

 

 

So  we  know  that

 

x  =   2 * 3  /   z

 

x  = 6 / z

 

But  we need  to also know   the value  of  x   to find  z

 

 

 

 

cool cool cool
