    Giiven Z is proportional to x let us suppose Z contain x as Cx where c is some constant

    Z is inversely proportional to y let us suppose Z contain y as k (1/y) where k is also some another constant.

    WE can write Z = (c x) / (ky)

    Or Z = (c/k) (x/y) where c/k is a constant

    Given at x = 12 y = 4 z = 57. let us place these values in this equation

    57 = (c/k) (12/4)

    57 = (c/k) (3)

    19 = c/k we got the constant value.

    we can write Z = 19 (x/y)

    Now if x = 18 and y = 10 we need to find Z

    Z = 19 (18/10)

    Z=34.2

    Answer : 34.2
