The variable z is inversely proportional to x. when x is 16, z has the value 1.125. what is the value of z when x = 24

Z=0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Z is inversely proportional to X.  

First we’ll define what an inverse proportion is. Inverse proportion is a relationship between two quantities such that if one quantity increases the other decreases.

Symbolically the relationship between Z and X can be defines as

Z ∝  1/X

When the proportionality symbol is removed a constant is introduced.

Z=  K/X

As we Know,  

X=16

Z=1.125

We can find the value of K by using the values of Z and X

Putting in the values

1.125=K/16

K=1.125*16

K=18

Now, For

X=24

Z=  18/24

Z=0.75

true !

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
