Answer 1

hi Kodah,

When quantities are inversely related that means that as one gets larger, the other gets smaller so that their product stays the same. For example, (2, 12) (3, 8) (4, 6) are inversely related pairs because their products are all 24.

For your question, find the product of 12 and 36. Then find r when 18r = 12(36)
