Question

what happens to the value of the expression 50/p as p decreases from a large positive number to a small positive number?

Answer 1

$\bf \begin{array}{llll} p~value&expression\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ 10000&\frac{50}{10000}\implies \frac{1}{200}\\\\ 1000&\frac{50}{1000}\implies \frac{1}{20} \\\\ 100&\frac{50}{100}\implies \frac{1}{2}\\\\ 10&\frac{50}{10}\implies 5\\\\ 1&\frac{50}{1}\implies 50\\\\ ...&... \end{array}$

so, what do you think?

Answer 2

Answer:

50/p increases from a small positive number to a big positive number.

Step-by-step explanation:

p is in the denominator. This means that p and the value of the expression 50/p are inverse proportional. So for a big value of p, 50/p has a small positive value. For a small value of p, 50/p has a high positive value.

what happens to the value of the expression 50/p as p decreases from a large positive number to a small positive number?

50/p increases from a small positive number to a big positive number.

For example

50/1000 = 0.05

50/1 = 50
