\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{inverse proportional variation}
\\\\
\textit{\underline{y} varies inversely with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad  y=\cfrac{k}{x}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
k=constant\ of\\
\qquad  variation
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{we also know that }
\begin{cases}
x=2.3\\
y=5.1
\end{cases}\implies 5.1=\cfrac{k}{2.3}\implies (5.1)(2.3)=k

Y varies inversely with x → y= \frac{k}{x} where k is the constant of variation 

5.1 = k/2.3 ← substitute values into the formula

k = 11.73 ← result of multiplying both sides by 2.3

ANSWER: k = 11.73

The prime factors of 60 are 2, 3, 4, <u>5</u>, 6,     10, 12, 15, 20, 30,      60

The only common factor of 35 and 60 is 5.
