    Z=0.75

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given

    Z is inversely proportional to X.

    First we'll define what an inverse proportion is. Inverse proportion is a relationship between two quantities such that if one quantity increases the other decreases.

    Symbolically the relationship between Z and X can be defines as

    Z ∝ 1/X

    When the proportionality symbol is removed a constant is introduced.

    Z = K/X

    As we Know,

    X=16

    Z=1.125

    We can find the value of K by using the values of Z and X

    Putting in the values

    1.125=K/16

    K=1.125*16

    K=18

    Now, For

    X=24

    Z = 18/24

    Z=0.75
