Answer:

q = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

given p and q vary inversely then the equation relating them is

p = [tex]\frac{k}{q}[/tex] ← k is the constant of variation

to find k use the condition p = 29 when q = 16 , then

29 = [tex]\frac{k}{16}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 16 )

464 = k

p = [tex]\frac{464}{q}[/tex] ← equation of variation

when p = 116 , then

116 = [tex]\frac{464}{q}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by q )

116q = 464 ( divide both sides by 116 )

q = 4
