constant of proportionality: 90
equation: p*q = 90

Explanation:

If p and q are inversely proportional, then
color(white)("XXXX")color(red)(p)*color(blue)(q)=c for some constant c (the constant of proportionality)

We are told
color(white)("XXXX")color(red)(60)*color(blue)(3/2) = c

rarrcolor(white)("XXXX")c=90
