Problema Solution

Suppose that w is direclty proportional to y and inversely proportional to v. If w=12 when v=20 and y=10, find w when v=30 and y=5.

Answer provided by our tutors

w is directly proportional to y and inversely proportional to v


w = k*(y/v), where k is a constant


w = 12 when v = 20 and y = 10 thus


12= k*(10/20)


by solving we find


k = 24

when v = 30 and y = 5 we have


w = 24*(5/30)


w = 4
