Answer:

y = [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies directly as x and inversely as the square of z then the equation relating them is

y = [tex]\frac{kx}{z^{2} }[/tex] ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 20 when x = 50 and z = 5, then

k = [tex]\frac{yz^2}{x}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x20(25)}{50}[/tex] = 10, thus

y = [tex]\frac{10x}{z^{2} }[/tex] ← equation of variation

Given x = 3 and z = 6, then

y = [tex]\frac{10(3)}{36}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{30}{36}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex]
