There's no such commonly recognised thing as 'indirect proportion'. If you mean Inverse Proportion, this is when one quantity decreases as another increases by the same factor.
As an example, the time it takes to run 100 m is inversely proportional to the speed you run at - if you double your speed, it takes you half as long.
Many maths problems run along the lines of "If it takes three men four days to build a wall, how long will it take five men to build the same wall?". This is inverse proportion. As you increase the number of men by a factor of 5/3, you decrease the time taken by a factor of 5/3, so the answer here is 2.4 days.
I hope that helps!

Indirect proportion direct proportion and partitive proportion dealing solving problems?
wow
How can you solve problems involving percents?
That would depend on the specific problem. The "rule of three" (i.e., solving proportions) can help for many standard problems; i.e., you consider a proportion, where the percentage has a denominator of 100. Here are some examples:1) What's 17% of 2000? The proportion to solve is: 17/100 = x/2000 2) 500 is what percentage of 2000? The proportion to solve is: x/100 = 500/2000 3) 500 is 10% of what number? The proportion to solve is: 500/x = 10/100

So an example would be "if I am paid twenty pounds for three hours work, how much should I receive for six?". As the time has increased by a factor of two, so does the money; you should receive £40.

Do gallbladder problems effect exercise?
Not directly. Of course, nausea, stomach pain and diarrhea can all affect exercise so gall bladder problems could have an indirect effect.
