<PRE><B>Question 97297</B>
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
