Question

R is inversely proportional to s. If r=16 when s=3, then write the formula for the reaction between r and s

Answer 1

So,

Rs = 16(3) = 48

Rs = 48

Answer 2

`r*s=48` or
`r=48/s`

Explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, r, and s, represent an inverse variation if it can be expressed in the form
`r*s=k` or
`r=k/s`

In this problem we have

`r=16, s=3`

Find the value of the constant k

`r*s=k` ------->
`k=16*3=48`

The formula is equal to

`r*s=48` or
`r=48/s`
