Question 97297: The number of green beads varied inversely as the square of the number of yellow beads. When there were 8 green, there were 5 yellows. How many would there be if threre were 10 yellows? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The number of green beads varied inversely as the square of the number of yellow beads.
------------
green = k/(yellow)^2
------------------
When there were 8 green, there were 5 yellows.
---------------
8 = k/(5)^2
k = 200
-------
Equation for this relation is g = 200/y^2
-----------------
How many would there be if there were 10 yellows?
g = 200/(10)^2
g = 200/100
g = 2 green beans when there are 10 yellow
