If 3 farmers took 5 hours to plow 6 fields
how long would it take 1 farmer to plow 6 fields?
------
time is directly related to # of fields and inversely related
to # of farmers.
-------
t = k*f/m
------
Solve for "k" "If 3 farmers took 5 hours to plow 6 fields".
5 = k*6/5
-------
k = 25/6
------
How long would it take 1 farmer to plow 6 fields?
Equation:
t = (25/6)f/m
time = (25/6)(6/1)
time = 25 hours
