\n" ); document.write( "(1) Convert the proportionality statement into an algebraic equation, based on the definitions of jointly and inversely proportional.

\n" ); document.write( "\"p+=+k%2A%28qr%2Fs%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "(2) Solve the equation for q. \"k\" is just some constant, so you can still use \"k\" for the constant of proportionality.

\n" ); document.write( "\"q+=+k%2A%28ps%2Fr%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "(3) Convert this algebraic proportion equation into words, similar to what is given originally.
