    Direct variation: y = kx

    Inverse variation: y = k/x

    y varies directly with x^2 ... : y = kx^2

    ... and inversely with z: y = kx^2/z

    Now we use the given information to find k.

    x = 2, z = 6, y = 2 6/11

    y = kx^2/z

    2 6/11 = k * (2^2) / 6

    28/11 = 4k/6

    28/11 = 2k/3

    k = 28/11 * 3/2

    k = 84/22 = 42/11

    Now we can use our value of k in the function.

    y = kx^2/z

    y = (42/11) (x^2/z)

    Now we use our function to find y when x = 1 and z = 3.

    y = (42/11) (x^2/z)

    y = (42/11) (1^1/3)

    y = 42/33

    y = 14/11

    y = 1 3/11
