Suppose \(p\) and \(q\) are inversely proportional. If \(p = 25 \) when \(q = 6\), find the value of \(p\) when \(q = 15\).
If p and q are inversely proportional this means that p = k/q, where k is a constant.
From the information given, we have: 25 = k/6, so k = 25*6
When q = 15, we have p = 25*6/15 or p = 10
