For the inverse variation equation p is equal to 8 over cap v , what is the value of cap v when p is equal to 1 half ?
Answer
A
4
B
16
C
1 over 16
D
1 fourth
Explanation
Substitute p = 1/2 into p = 8/v to get 1/2 = 8/v. Multiply both sides by v, then divide by 1/2: v = 8 ÷ (1/2) = 16. Therefore, the correct choice is 16.
