Question

m varies directly with n and inversely with p. m vanishes when n is zero, and takes on the value of 3 when p is 1 with n held constant at 33. What could the ratio of p to m be if n is 44?​

Answer 1

m directly n

m inversely p

.: m directly proportional to n/p

m1/m2 = n1/n2 * p2/p1

when n=0 m=0,

n1=33, p1=1 m1=3

n2=44

3/m2 = 33/44 × p2/1

m2p2 =44

there is no ratio of p to m as m is inversely proportional to p
