Page 2: Direct Proportion and Inverse Proportion Problems

This page presents three questions covering direct and inverse proportion problems. The questions involve calculating values based on given proportional relationships.

Example: Question 1 deals with y being directly proportional to the square of x, where y = 24 when x = 2.

Vocabulary: Direct proportion - a relationship where one quantity increases at the same rate as another.

Vocabulary: Inverse proportion - a relationship where one quantity decreases at the same rate as another increases.

Page 3: Advanced Direct Proportion Problem

This page focuses on a more complex direct proportion problem involving the relationship between H and c, where H varies directly to the cube of c.

Example: When H = 40, c = 2, students are asked to express H in terms of c, find H when c = 5, and find c when H = 5000.

Highlight: The question demonstrates how to manipulate equations involving cubes in direct proportion problems.

Page 6: Real-World Application of Inverse Proportion

This page presents a practical application of inverse proportion in the context of airport check-in times. It demonstrates how the time taken for check-in is inversely proportional to the square of the number of staff working.

Example: Students must find an equation connecting time tt and staff number ss, and determine the minimum number of staff needed for a specific check-in time.

Highlight: This question shows how inverse proportion can be applied to real-world scenarios, enhancing students' understanding of its practical uses.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Samantha Klich

Android user

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
