Question

If two quantities are inversely proportional to each other, does that mean as one increases the other increases?

A) Yes
B) No

Answer 1

When two quantities are inversely proportional, as one increases, the other decreases by a proportional factor.

Step-by-step explanation:

When two quantities are inversely proportional to each other, it means that as one quantity increases, the other quantity decreases by a proportional factor.

So the correct answer is A) Yes.

For example, if we consider the relationship between speed and time, the faster you travel (increase in speed), the less time it takes to reach a destination (decrease in time).
