Question

What are real-life examples of inverse proportion?

Answer 1

Real-life examples of inverse proportion.

In an inverse proportion, when one quantity increases by a certain factor, the other quantity decreases by the same factor.

Real-life examples of inverse proportion are:

• As the speed of the car increases the time taken to cover certain distance decreases.
• More buses on the road less space on the road.
• The number of people doing something and the time it takes to do it. As the number of people increases, the time it takes to finish decreases.
