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.

∙ 16y agoAs one value increases, the other decreases; so, if you double one number you have to halve the other number

Is the inverse proportion one in which the product of the two variables is constant?

What is an inverse proportion?
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.

How do you solve the proportion of something?
There cannot be a "proportion of something": proportion is a relationship between two things, and how you solve it depends on whether they (or their transformations) are in direct proportion or inverse proportion.
What are the 4 kinds of proportionality in physics?
The four kinds of proportionality in physics are direct proportionality, inverse proportionality, joint proportionality, and inverse square proportionality. Direct proportionality means that two quantities increase or decrease together. Inverse proportionality means that one quantity increases while the other decreases. Joint proportionality involves three or more quantities varying together. Inverse square proportionality refers to a relationship where one quantity is inversely proportional to the square of another quantity.
Is the inverse proportion one in which the product of the two variables is constant?
Yes.
What is the relationship between density and surface tension?
as we know the relation between surface tension and temperature is inverse, and that of temperature and density also has inverse proportion, then it is clear that the '''surface tension is directly proportion to the density'''.
