Answer:
p = 48
Step-by-step explanation:
If p is inversely proportional to the square of q
This is written Mathematically as:
p ∝ 1/q²
p = k × 1/q²
p = k/q²
Cross Multiply
k = pq²
k = Constant of Proportionality
Step 1
We find k
When p is 3 when q was 12
k = pq²
k = 3 × 12²
k = 432
Step 3
determine p when q is equal to 3
p = k/q²
p = 432/3²
p = 48
