The constant is 200.
Further explanation:
An inverse propertion states that if one quantity increases the other decreases and vice versa.
It can also be written as:
if y varies inversely with x
then
y∝1/x
y=k/x
When the proportionality symbol is removed, a proportionality constant is introduced
Given
y=40
x=5
Putting in equation
[tex]40=\frac{k}{5}\\k=40*5\\k=200[/tex]
The constant is 200.
