Answer:

P in terms of V is:

P = 432/V

Explanation:

We know that y varies inversely as x, we get the equation

y ∝ 1/x

y = k/x

k = yx

where k is called the constant of proportionality.

In our case,

P is inversely proportional to V

Given

P = 18

V = 24

so

P = k/V

k = PV

substituting P = 18 and V = 24 to determine k

k = 18 × 24

k = 432

now substituting k = 432 in P = k/V

P = 432/V

Therefore, P in terms of V is:

P = 432/V
