Quick question. What is the formula for an inverse variation?

OpenStudy (paki):

just multiply the first two terms and divide it by the third....

OpenStudy (bakonloverk):

Which equation represents an inverse variation? f (a/b) = 7 g 2a + 3 = 4b + 3 h (a/5) = (2/b) j (a/4) = (b/9) Which would i multiply?

OpenStudy (paki):

can you please post your question here...

An inverse variation is a relation in which the absolute value of one variable gets smaller while the other gets larger. Which one do you think it may be?

OpenStudy (bakonloverk):

I don't know... I know how to do this, but this problem is just confusing me.

OpenStudy (paki):

@bakonloverk please check this question..... If 18 identical machines required 40 days to complete a job, how many fewer days would have been required to do the job if 6 additional machines of the same type had been used from the beginning...?

OpenStudy (paki):

and its answer options are... (A) 10 (B)40/3 (C)16 (D) 80/3 (E) 36 now try to solve... it is an inverse ratio question... will help you a lot...
