If p varies directly as q and inversely as r, and p = 4 when q = 2 and r = 6, find p when q = 4 and r = 8.
[tex]\\[/tex]
Given values:
- p = 4, q = 2, r = 6
Translation: Combined variation
p varies directly as q and inversely as r
- p = kq/r
[tex]\\[/tex]
===================================
- p = kq/r
- 4 = k · 2/6
- 4 · 6 = 2k
- 24 = 2k
- 24/2 = k
- 12 = k
----------------------------------
- p = ?, q = 4, r = 8
- p = 2q/r
- p = 2 · 4/8
- p = 8/8
- p = 1

- The value of p is 1.
