Question 115

A fixed total of 120 counters is packed into an increasing number of equal bags. How should the relationship between bag count and counters per bag be classified?

  1. Inverse, because their product remains 120Correct answer
  2. Direct, because both quantities describe the counters
  3. Not related, because the total never changes
  4. Direct, because adding bags changes the amount per bag

Explanation

Bag count multiplied by counters per bag remains 120, so more bags mean fewer counters in each and the relationship is inverse. It is not direct proportion because doubling the number of bags halves, rather than doubles, the number in each bag.
