Question 673759
direct proportion is z = kx
inverse proportion is z = k/y
direct and inverse proportion together is z = kx/y
z = volume of gas in cubic meters
x = temperature in kelvin
y = pressure in kilograms per square meter.
when volume of gas is 20 cubic meters and temperature is 100 kelvin and pressure is 15 kilograms per square meter, equation of z = kx/y becomes 20 = 100k/15.
solve for k to get k = 20*15/100 which results in k = 3.
now that you know k, you can use that to solve the problem.
when the temperature is 150 kelvin and the pressure is 20 kilograms per square and k = 3, the equation of z = kx/y becomes z = 3*150/20 which becomes z = 22.5 cubic meters.
that's your answer.
