Author note — to cover
Cover the meaning of inverse proportion, one quantity multiplies and the other divides by the same factor so the product is constant, with 'is inversely proportional to' language and the equivalence to proportionality to 1/x stated informally. Worked contexts are the sibling problems page; constructing y = k/x is Higher's inverse-proportion-equations. Both tiers. (R10, R13)
