Calculation ↓

If y varies inversely with x, we divide :

y = [tex]^k/_x[/tex]

Where

k = constant of proportionality

We are given that :

y = 0.5

x = 24

So we write :

0.5 = [tex]\Large\text{$^k/_{24}$}[/tex]

Multiply by 24 on [tex]\Large{\text{both\:sides\::}}[/tex]

12=k

[tex]\Large{\text{The\:constant\:of\:proportionality\:is\:12.}}[/tex]

So we have

y = 12/x
