\(P\)\(2\)\(3\)\(8\)
\(Q\)\(24\)\(16\)\(6\)
  1. Show that the table is consistent with inverse proportion.

  2. Express \(Q\) in terms of \(P\).

  3. Find \(P\) when \(Q=3\).

  4. Another pair of variables satisfies \(v=12-u\). Explain why this is not inverse proportion, even though \(v\) decreases as \(u\) increases.
