Question

S is inversely proportional to t . When s = 0.6 , t = 5 Work out s when t = 0.3

Answer 1

s = 10

Explanation:

Given s is inversely proportional to t , then the equation relating them is

s =
`(k)/(t)` ← k is the constant of proportion

To find k use the condition when s = 0.6, t = 5

0.6 =
`(k)/(5)` ( multiply both sides by 5 )

3 = k

s =
`(3)/(t)` ← equation of proportion

When t = 0.3, then

s =
`(3)/(0.3)` = 10
