Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

 This is a joint variation problem:

              z varies directly as x and y

Interpreting this;

                z ∝ xy

 Therefore;

               z  = kxy

 z = 6, x = 2, y  = 6

   Now find k,

             6  = 2 x 6 x k

              6  = 12k

               k  = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

To find the value of z;

   x  = 3, y  = 8

              z  =  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]  x 3 x 8  = 12
