Given:
- y = 48
- x = 4
- z = 2
Solution:
- Use the information given to find the constant of variation (k).
- [tex] \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \sf \: y = kxz \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \sf \: 48 = k \: (4)(2) \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \sf \: 48 = k \: (8) \\ \sf \: \frac{48}{8} = k \\ \: \underline{ \boxed{ \purple{ \sf \: 6}}} = \sf k[/tex]
Thus, the constant of variation (k) is 6.
