Suppose that y varies jointly with w and x and inversely with z,
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"%28wx%29%2Fz\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "and y = 360 when w = 8, x = 25, and z = 5.
\n" ); document.write( "write it as:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28wxk%29%2Fz\" = y
\n" ); document.write( "Find the constant of variation (k) using these values
\n" ); document.write( "\"%288%2A25%2Ak%29%2F5\" = 360
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28200k%29%2F5\" = 360
\n" ); document.write( "40k = 360
\n" ); document.write( "k = \"40%2F360\"
\n" ); document.write( "k ~ .11
\n" ); document.write( ":
