If z varies directly with x and inversely with y and x=6, y=2, and z=15, find z when x=4 and y=9
-----------------
z = k*x/y
----
Solve for "k" using "x=6, y=2, and z=15"
-----
15 = k*6/2
-----
30 = 6k
k = 5
----------
Equation:
z = 5*x/y
-----------------------
find z when x=4 and y=9
z = 5*4/9
z = 20/9
---------------
