Answer:

An example could be the speed of a car and the time it takes to travel.

Step-by-step explanation:

An inverse relationship means that as one variable increases, another decreases proportionally. For example, speed and time are inversely related, as when speed increases, it takes less time to move a particular distance. If I drive my car a 60 mph it would take me an hour to drive 60 miles, but if I drive at 120 mph it would take me 30 minutes or half the time to drive 60 miles.
