To determine which of the given statements are in inverse proportion, we need to analyze each statement based on the definition of inverse proportion. Two quantities are said to be in inverse proportion if an increase in one quantity results in a decrease in the other quantity, and vice versa. Let's evaluate each statement step by step: ### Step 1: Number of workers on a job and the time to complete the job. - **Analysis**: If the number of workers increases, the time taken to complete the job decreases. For example, if one worker takes 5 days to complete a job, 5 workers can complete it in less time. - **Conclusion**: Yes, they are in inverse proportion. ...
