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=5p⇒p=252=q9⇒q=18 c=1825⋅3=15
Thanks! :)
a:b=2:5a:c=9:2 Nonsense. How blamable
b=5a2c=2a9
b=3
a=2b5a=2⋅35a=65c=2a9=2⋅69⋅5c=415 Not correct.
!
Asinus, you need to look up what inversely proportional means.
a:b=2:5a:1c=2:19a=2b52c=a9c=18a
a=2b5a=65c=18ac=18⋅56c=15
Thanks Melody! I have "looked up".
