1. A Varies Inversely As B. If A = 12 When B= 7, Find A When B = 6.

1. a varies inversely as b. If a = 12 when b= 7, find a when b = 6.

nderline{\mathbb{QUESTION:}}

a varies inversely as b. If a = 12 when b= 7, find a when b = 6.

  • ab = k
  • a = 12, b = 7
  • 12 · 7 = k
  • 84 = k

-----

  • a = ?, b = 6
  • ab = 84
  • a · 6 = 84
  • a = 84/6
  • a = 14

nderline{\mathbb{ANSWER:}}

  • The value of a is 14.
