To Find: The situationhas direct or inverse variation.

Answer to Problem 39PPS

Inversevariation

Explanation of Solution

Given: Thirty video games token are divided evenly among a group of friends.

Let $y$ represents the number of tokens for each friend and $x$ represent number of friends and $k$ represent the number of tokens

Then equation becomes

  $\begin{array}{l}y=\frac{k}{x}\\ xy=k\end{array}$

Since the ratio is constant, the situation is in inverse variation.
