    The loudness, L decibels, of the music at a disco varies inversely as the square of the distance, d metres, from the speakers.

    Sam and Kate were dancing 1.5 metres from the speakers. If the move to a position 3 metres from the speakers what will be the effect on the loudness?


    HELP !!!
    This is a proportion question !! HELP !!!

    No, it would be 1/4, because it's inversely proportional to the square.
