If y varies inversely as x...
\n" ); document.write( "

Then

and x is increased in the ratio 3:5

\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then

how is y changed?

Cross-multiply:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Replace x by  in\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So y is decreased in the ratio 5:3.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
