1. Problem Description

We are given that xx is directly proportional to yy and inversely proportional to zz. Also, x=15x = 15 when y=10y = 10 and z=4z = 4. We need to find the equation connecting xx, yy, and zz.

2. Solution Steps

Since xx is directly proportional to yy and inversely proportional to zz, we can write the relationship as:
x=kyzx = k \frac{y}{z}
where kk is the constant of proportionality.
We are given that x=15x = 15 when y=10y = 10 and z=4z = 4. Substituting these values into the equation, we get:
15=k10415 = k \frac{10}{4}
Multiplying both sides by 4, we have:
15×4=k×1015 \times 4 = k \times 10
60=10k60 = 10k
Dividing both sides by 10, we get:
k=6010=6k = \frac{60}{10} = 6
Therefore, the equation connecting xx, yy, and zz is:
x=6yz=6yzx = 6 \frac{y}{z} = \frac{6y}{z}

3. Final Answer

The equation connecting xx, yy, and zz is x=6yzx = \frac{6y}{z}.
Therefore, the answer is A.
