If a and b are inversely proportional and the value of a becomes 3 times as big what happens to b

3 times lesser

     a and b are inversely proportional,

                                                a ∝ (1/b)

                                                or a  =  k/b                 where k =constant ,

                                             if a is 3 times increased  what happens to b ?

                                                  b is 3 times less.

the number of protons in the nucleus of a given element. has slight luster and conducts electricity at high temperatures like metal.but like a nonmetal,boron is brittle and does not conduct electricity well at low temperatures. in graphite, carbon is a soft,brittle solid.it is reflective,ductile,or malleable.
