Question

If one variable increases, the other variable decreases in the same proportion and when one variable

decreases, the other variable increases in the same proportion, then that proportion is the

……………… proportion.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Inversely Proportional Meaning

Directly proportional variables are those in which if one variable increases, the other also increases. If one variable decreases, the other decreases in the same proportion. ... It is opposite to direct proportion.

Answer 2

Inverse proportion

Given

• one variable increases, the other variable decreases in the same proportion
• one variable decreases, the other variable increases in the same proportion

To find

• proportion

Solution

we are provided that if One variable increases and the other variable increases in the same proportion and when one variable decreases the other also decreases in the same proportion then what type of proportion it would be.

this type of proportion is usually known as inverse proportion

since the variable are inversely connected that is if one increases the other would goes on decrease it is known in such a manner.

Example for such proportion would be,

in a construction site if number of workers increases then the time taken for the completion of work would decrease.

In the opposite manner if number of workers available to complete the work is reduced the time needed for the completion of the work would increase.

It is generally noted that in this proportion the product of the variables connected would remain a constant.
