Example of inverse proportion is:
Density = Mass/Volume
Because the formula represents that the density is directly proportional to the
mass while density is inversely proportional to volume.
Remember that inversely proportional means that if variable A increases, the variable B decreases, and if variable B increases, the variable A decreases.

Inverse is the opposite of proportion
hyperbola
Two variables are said to be in inverse proportion if their product is a constant.So, if X and Y are in inverse proportion, thenXY = k or Y = k/X for some constant k.If you double X then Y is halved. If you decrease X by a factor of 3 then Y is trebled.A common example is Speed and Time for covering a fixed Distance.
Inverse proportion is when one value increases, as the other decreases. For example the number of builders building a wall and the number of days it takes to build a wall are 2 quantities in inverse proportion because the more builders there are, the less time it takes to build the wall (there are more people working on it, so it will be built quickly). As the number of builders increases, the number of days to build the wall decreases. This is inverse proportion.
direct
direct proportion: y=kx inverse proportion: y=k/x
when both increaes its direct proportion and when one increase and othe decreases its inverse proportion.
Inverse is the opposite of proportion
Inverse proportion is a mathematical concept and has nothing whatsoever to do with religious concepts such as hell.
The more people there are to share a pizza, the smaller each person's portion will be. This is an example of inverse proportion - as the number of people increases, the size of each person's portion decreases. In traffic, as the number of cars on the road increases, the speed at which each car can travel decreases. This is another example of inverse proportion - as the density of cars increases, the speed of the cars decreases. Similarly, when watering plants, the more plants you have to water, the less water each plant will receive. This is an example of inverse proportion - as the number of plants increases, the amount of water each plant receives decreases.

The speed triangle is a good example. The faster you go, the quicker you will arrive at your destination.
