Question 1164040: You are playing Pokémon-go in Chicago. The number of Pokémon you see is inversely proportional to the distance between your location and downtown Chicago. Suppose that you capture 4 Pokémon when you are 3000 meters away from downtown Chicago. How many Pokémon do you expect to capture when you are 500 meters away from downtown Chicago?
(Is this a direct variation problem or an inverse variation problem? What key words in each problem tell you that it is either a direct variation or inverse variable problem?) Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! you capture more as you get closer. This is inverse variation. There are words "inversely proportional" in the problem wording.
P=k/D
4=k/3000
k=12000
use k in the second part
P=12000/500
P=24
