At a constant temperature, the volume ( V )of a gas varies inversely as the pressure ( P ). Translate the statement of variation into an equation and use k as the constant of variation.
A) $B = \frac { k } { H }$
B) $k = \frac { H } { B }$
C) $B = \frac { H } { k }$
D) $H = k b$
E) $H = \frac { k } { B }$

The statement describes an inverse variation between volume (V) and pressure (P), which translates to $V = \frac{k}{P}$. However, the options use different variables (B and H), so the correct translation matching the given description is $B = \frac{k}{H}$, which is option A.
