Chapter 1 Direct and Inverse Proportion

 Solve problem involving direct and inverse proportion

1.1 Direct Proportion


1. The wages for 10 men who work for 6 days amount to $800. Find the wages of 4 men who
work for 3 days.
2. It will take 24 men working 9 hours a day to build a house in 45 days. Given that all men
work at the same rate
a. How many days will 24 men take to build the same house if they work 8 hours a day?
b. How many hours per day must 29 men work if the house is to be completed in 48
days?
3. The mass of a hemisphere, m g is directly proportional to the cube of its radius, r cm. If a
hemisphere of radius 4 cm has a mass of 192 g.
a. Express m in term of r
b. Find the radius of another hemisphere with a mass of 81 g
4. The period (P seconds) of a simple pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of
its length (L cm). When the length is 64 cm, the period is 3.2 seconds. Find
a. The period when the length is 1.44m
b. The length when the period is 2 seconds
5. P is directly proportional to 𝑞 . Given the P = 15 for a particular value of q. Find the value of
P when this value of q is increased by 200%
6. If y is directly proportional to the square of x and the difference in the values of y when x=2
and x = 6 is 40. Find the value of y when x = 4
7. Y is directly proportional to the cube of x. It is also know that y=10 for a particular value of
x. Find the value of y when this value of x is halved.
8. Given that y varies directly as 𝑥 , find the percentage increase in y when x doubles
