Inverse Proportonial

Question

The variable Z is inversely proportional to X. When X is 6, Z has the value 0.5.

What is the value of Z when X = 10

Answer 1

The information says x = k/z where k is the proportional constant

So k = xz substituting, we have k = 6*.5 = 3

When x = 10 z = k/x = 3/10 = .333
