How inverse proportion works

In an inverse relationship, one quantity goes down when the other goes up so that their product stays constant. The calculator uses $a imes b = c imes x$ and rearranges it to solve the missing term.

Fast checks

Multiply the first known pair and compare it with the solved pair. If both products match, the inverse setup is consistent.

Typical examples

Worker-time problems, speed-time tradeoffs, and gas pressure-volume questions often follow this pattern when the total work or total product is fixed.
