Question

If p and q vary inversely and p is 8 when q is 28, determine q when p is equal to 32.
9

Answer 1

Explanation:

As given

p = k/q ( p varies inversely to q)

k = pq

k = (8)(28)

k = 224

Now,

p = 32

q = ?

Use p = k/q expression,

q = k/p

q = 224/32 ( we find k which is equal to 224)

q = 7.
