Question

If p and q vary inversely and p is 29 when q is 25, determine q when p is equal to 5.

Answer 1

Answer:p1q1=p2q2

q1=25,p1=29;

p2=5,q2=?;

q2=p1q1/p2;

q2=25*29/5;

q2=29*5;

q2=145.

Answer 2

Answer:If p and q vary inversely, it means that their product remains constant. So we can set up the equation:

p * q = k

where k is the constant of variation.

Given that p is 29 when q is 25, we can substitute these values into the equation:

29 * 25 = k

725 = k

Now, let's determine the value of q when p is equal to 5:

p * q = k

5 * q = 725

Dividing both sides of the equation by 5:

q = 725 / 5

q = 145

Therefore, when p is equal to 5, q is equal to 145.
