Answer

$V=klwh$ where k = constant of proportionality

Work Step by Step

RECALL: (i) If the quantities (or variables) $x$ and $y$ are related by the equation $y=kx$, then $y$ is directly proportional to $x$, where $k$ is the constant of proportionality. (ii) If the quantities (or variables) $x$ and $y$ are related by the equation $y=\dfrac{k}{x}$, then $y$ is inversely proportional to $x$, where $k$ is the constant of proportionality. $V$ is given to be directly proportional to $lwh$ therefore the equation that expresses the given statement is: $V = klwh$ where k = constant of proportionality
