Question

S is inversely proportional to t . When s = 0.6 , t = 5 Work out s when t = 0.3

Answer 1

Answer:

s = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given s is inversely proportional to t , then the equation relating them is

s = $\frac{k}{t}$ ← k is the constant of proportion

To find k use the condition when s = 0.6, t = 5

0.6 = $\frac{k}{5}$ ( multiply both sides by 5 )

3 = k

s = $\frac{3}{t}$ ← equation of proportion

When t = 0.3, then

s = $\frac{3}{0.3}$ = 10
