In the preceding examples, the ratios were all direct; as in those cases any increase in the required term of the ratio demanded a similar increase of the unknown; but there are cases which require the ratio to be inverted, such as, the more men employed, the less time will be required to perform a piece of work; the more hours employed in the day, the less days; the wider the material, the less yards it will take to make a garment, etc.

These cases of inverse ratio are readily detected by asking this question : “Will an increase of the required term of the ratio demand an increase in the unknown term ?" If it does, the ratio is direct; but if an increase in the required term of the ratio demand a diminution of the unknown term, the ratio must be inverted; thus,
