1. The problem involves inverse proportionality, where two variables multiply to a constant. For example, if $g$ and $h$ are inversely proportional, then $g = \frac{k}{h}$ for some constant $k$.
2. Given $g = \frac{54}{h}$, we find $g$ when $h=9$ by substituting:
$$g = \frac{54}{9} = 6$$
3. For the printing problem, minutes $m$ and printers $n$ are inversely proportional, so:
$$m = \frac{140}{n}$$
Calculate $m$ when $n=20$:
$$m = \frac{140}{20} = 7$$
4. For $a$ and $b$ inversely proportional with $a = \frac{30}{b}$, find $b$ when $a=5$:
$$5 = \frac{30}{b} \implies b = \frac{30}{5} = 6$$
5. For kettle boiling time $n$ and power $p$ inversely proportional:
$$n = \frac{270}{p}$$
Given $n=90$, find $p$:
$$90 = \frac{270}{p} \implies p = \frac{270}{90} = 3$$
6. For $r$ and $t$ inversely proportional with $r = \frac{96}{t}$:
a) Find $r$ when $t=4$:
$$r = \frac{96}{4} = 24$$
b) Find $t$ when $r=8$:
$$8 = \frac{96}{t} \implies t = \frac{96}{8} = 12$$
Inverse proportionality means as one variable increases, the other decreases such that their product is constant.
Final answers:
- $g=6$ when $h=9$
- $m=7$ when $n=20$
- $b=6$ when $a=5$
- $p=3$ when $n=90$
- $r=24$ when $t=4$
- $t=12$ when $r=8$
