  • Four tables of inverse proportion problems: y against x with x = 12, y = 6; b against a squared with a = 4, b = 36; q against p cubed with p = 5, q = 5; n against the square root of m with m = 25, n = 14. Each has blank cells to fill.

For which question have you posted this attempt?

Lets take the second for instance where b is inversely proportional to a^2.
We can write ##b \propto \frac{1}{a^2}##. Removing the proportionality sign, ##b =\frac{k}{a^2}## where ##k## is some constant.
Substitute ##a## and ##b##, find the value of k.
