x
is inversely proportional to y. x=12 while y=5. Find y when x is 3.
Solution
x ⍺ k
y
x =
k
y
12
= k
5
k =
12 x 5
k =
60
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
k =
60, y= ?, x = 3.
x =
k
y
3 =
60
y
y x
3 = 60 x y
(multiply by y on both sides)
3y = 60
3 3
y = 20 .
TRY THIS…………….
x
is inversely proportional to y. x=20 while y=4. Find y when x is 2.
