Answer:

m = 10

Explanation:

The values of w is inversely proportional to m

Mathematically:

w ∝ 1/m

w = k × 1/m

w = k/m

Where k is the Constant of Proportionality

Step 1

Solve for k

If w=8 then m=25

w = k/m

8 = k/25

Cross Multiply

k = 25 × 8

k = 200

Step 2

what is m when w=20? Show me the steps please

We solve for m

w = k/m

k = 200

20 = 200/m

Cross Multiply

20m = 200

m = 200/20

m = 10
