Two quantities are inversely proportional when one is multiplied or divided by any number, the other is divided or multiplied by the same number.
The relation is also commonly denoted as:
y ∝ x−1
The graph of two variables that are inversely proportional is a hyperbola.
Speed and time are inversely proportional because as the speed increases, the time it takes to reach the destination decreases.

Is the inverse proportion one in which the product of the two variables is constant?
Yes.
What is an inverse proportion?
Two variables are said to be in inverse proportion if their product is a constant.So, if X and Y are in inverse proportion, thenXY = k or Y = k/X for some constant k.If you double X then Y is halved. If you decrease X by a factor of 3 then Y is trebled.A common example is Speed and Time for covering a fixed Distance.

How do you solve the proportion of something?
There cannot be a "proportion of something": proportion is a relationship between two things, and how you solve it depends on whether they (or their transformations) are in direct proportion or inverse proportion.
Is the inverse proportion one in which the product of the two variables is constant?
Yes.
What is the relationship between density and surface tension?
as we know the relation between surface tension and temperature is inverse, and that of temperature and density also has inverse proportion, then it is clear that the '''surface tension is directly proportion to the density'''.
