Question

fill in the blanks
p is inversely proportional to q. When p=15 and q = 4 then the constant of variation is.... *
​

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is the constant of variation is 60

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: $p \propto \frac{1}{q}$

To find: fill in the blanks

$p \propto \frac{1}{q}$. When p=15 and q = 4 then the constant of variation is.... .

Solution:

Step 1: Remove the sign of proportion.

We can remove the sign of proportion by a constant.

As proportionality constant is k.

$p = \frac{k}{q}$

Step 2: Put the given values of p and q.

Put p=15 and q=4

$15 = \frac{k}{4}$

$k = 15 \times 4$

$\bf \pink{k = 60}$

Final answer:

$p \propto \frac{1}{q}$. When p=15 and q = 4 then the constant of variation is 60

Hope it helps you.
