Question

If m is inversely proportional to n, and if m=0.02 when n=5, find m when n=0.2

Answer 1

Inversely Proportional: when one value decreases at the same rate that the other increases.

m=X/n
0.02=X/5
X=0.10
find m when n=0.2
m=X/n
m=0.10/0.2
m=0.5

Answer 2

The value of m is 0.0008

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that m is inversely proportional to n

So, $m \propto n$

So,$m = kn$ ---A

Where k is the constant of proportionality

We are given that m=0.02 when n=5

Substitute the values in A

0.02=k(5)

$\frac{0.02}{5}=k$

$0.004 = k$

So, equation becomes : m = 0.004n

Substitute n = 0.2

m = 0.004(0.2)

m=0.0008

Hence The value of m is 0.0008
