Find the constant of proportionality.
z is inversely proportional to the cube of w. If w
= 2, then z = 3.

Step |
| The goal is to find k, the constant. | Plug in the values |
|
|
Use the formula for inverse variation |
| If w = 2, then z = 3. | Given |
|
|
Plug in w and z |
|
|
Cube 2 and multiply both sides by 8 |
| k = 24 | constant of proportionality |
|
|
Plug 45 in formula for k |
