Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

q = 51

Writing these statements symbolically, we get p = k/q.  This is inverse variation.

Solving for k, we get k = pq.  Thus the governing equation is k = pq, or k = (17)(15) = 255.

We then have a specific equation:  p = 255/q, or q = 255/p.

If p is 5, q is   q = 255/5 = 51
