Suppose a is directly proportional to b, but inversely proportional to c. If a=2 when b=5 and c=9, then what is c when b=3?

a=pba=qcc=qpb

 

2=5pp=252=q9q=18 c=18253=15

a:b=2:5a:c=9:2                    Nonsense. How blamable  crying
 

b=5a2c=2a9

b=3

a=2b5a=235a=65c=2a9=2695c=415 Not correct.

Asinus, you need to look up what inversely proportional means.

a:b=2:5a:1c=2:19a=2b52c=a9c=18a

b=3

a=2b5a=65c=18ac=1856c=15

 

Thanks Melody! I have "looked up".
