Which situation represents an inversely
proportional relationship?
A. The number of miles Rashid drives
increases over a period of 5 hours.
B. The amount of money Jackie spends
on tomato plants increases with the
number of tomato plants she buys.
As the temperature increases, the ice
cream shop's sales increase.
Robin has $100 to share evenly with
his cousins at the fair. As the number
of cousins who arrive increases, the
amount that each person receives
decreases.
D.

Respuesta :

Inversely proportional : it is relationship between two variables in which when one variable's value is increasing than other one is decreasing.

Situation A : The number of miles Rashid drives increases over a period of 5 hours.

→ in this situation both variable no. of miles and period of time are increasing. so it is not represent a inversely proportional relationship.

in next two situation , two variables are increasing with each other.

so we take last situation ↓

Situation : Robin has $100 to share evenly with his cousins at the fair. As the number of cousins who arrive increases, the amount that each person receives

decreases.

→ in this situation , both variable viz no. of cousins and amount they got is inversely proportional to each other. when no. of cousins are increasing than amount is decreasing. so this last one situation represent the inversely proportional relationship.
