\(m\) is inversely proportional to \(n\). It is given that \(m=3\) when \(n=5\).

  1. Find the equation connecting \(m\) and \(n\).

    [2]
  2. A change in \(m\) produces a change in \(n\). When the value of \(m\) is multiplied by \(\dfrac{1}{3}\), the value of \(n\) changes by a factor of \(c\). Find \(c\).
