Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
If the number of workers increases, the time taken to complete a task decreases proportionally. If 4 workers take 6 hours, how many hours will 12 workers take?
[3 marks]
2.
A car travels at a constant speed. If it covers 150 miles in 3 hours, how far will it travel in 8 hours at the same speed?
[3 marks]
3.
A recipe that serves 4 people requires 200 grams of sugar. If the recipe needs to serve 10 people, how much sugar is needed?
[2 marks]
4.
Plot the graph of y = 3/x for x values from 1 to 6.
[4 marks]
5.
A worker's efficiency is inversely proportional to the time taken to complete a task. If a worker completes a task in 5 hours, what is the efficiency ratio compared to a worker who takes 8 hours?
[2 marks]
6.
A machine's output is inversely proportional to the time it runs. If running for 6 hours produces 120 units, how many units are produced in 3 hours?
[3 marks]
7.
A car's fuel efficiency (mpg) is inversely proportional to the amount of fuel used. If a car uses 20 gallons for 400 miles, how many miles can it travel using 10 gallons?
[3 marks]
8.
Identify the mistake: A student claims that if doubling a quantity makes the total double, then the relationship is direct proportion. Is this correct? Explain.
[4 marks]
9.
A worker takes 10 hours to finish a task when working alone. When 3 workers work together, they finish the task in 2 hours. Is this an example of inverse proportion? Justify your answer.
[4 marks]
10.
A recipe for 8 people requires 400 grams of flour. How much flour is needed for 5 people?
[2 marks]
11.
Challenge: A factory's production rate is inversely proportional to the number of machines operating. If 5 machines produce 200 units per hour, how many units per hour are produced when 8 machines are working?
[4 marks]
