Question

P varies directly as q and p is equal to 5 , when q =2/3 . find when p, when q=16/3

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

given

p varies directly with q

so , p= kq [ k = constant]

if p= 5 and q= 2/3

then k = p/q = 5/2/3 = 5×3/2 = 15/2

when q =16/3

p = kq

or p= 15/2 × 16/3 [ put value of constant k]

or p= 5×8

or P =40 (ans)
