The inverse variation would be:

Then they say:

------------------

Multiply both sides by

-----------------
By the logic of an inverse variation, if I
double , then should be
of what it was before
-----------------------
I'll say ( twice )
Then

( which is half of what it was, )
------------------------
Hope this makes some kind of sense
