Answer:

75

Explanation:

For an inverse variation, the product of two variables is always a constant which is know as constant of variation.

Let w represents the width and h represents the height, the relation between them will be:

w ∝ 1/h

Changing the proportionality sign into equality sign, we can write:

w = k/h

w x h = k

Here k is the constant of proportionality.

Using the values of w and h, we get:

10 x 7.5 = k

k = 75

Thus, the constant of inverse variation will be 75
