Question 139309: I have a problem that I could use some help understanding how to solve/answer from a homework sheet. x varies directly with y and inversely with z. x=20 when y=8 and z=4. Find x when y=4 and z=8. Thank you Answer by vleith(2983) (Show Source):

What is x if the ratio of y/z = 4/8 = 1/2??
Use ratios.
