Question

5) If you read 10 pages every day, you will finish reading a book in 15 days. If you read 15 pages of the same book every day, you will finish the book in 10 days. This is an example of -------- proportion.​

Answer 1

Answer:

inversely proportional

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

This is an example of inverse proportion

Step-by-step explanation:

• We have mainly 2 types of proportion, Directly proportional and inversely proportional
• Directly proportional is a relation between two variables that are related in such a way that increasing one increases the other and decreasing one decreases the other

• a ∝ b equation is a representation of directly proportional in     which on increasing either of a or b, the other automatically increases, and on decreasing either of a or b, the other automatically decreases

• Inversely proportional is a relation between two variables that are related in such a way that on increasing one decreases the other

• a ∝ $\frac{1}{b}$  equation is a representation of inversely proportional in which on increasing either of a or b, the other automatically decreases and vice versa.
• So here in the given example if the person reads 15 pages instead of 10 pages then he will complete the book within 10 days instead of 15 days.
• Here we are given a relation between the number of pages read and the number of days taken and it's quite obvious that if we read more in a single day then we will complete the book early which is an example of inverse proportion because on increasing the number of pages the number of days taken to complete reduces.

Therefore it is a clear example of inverse proportion
