x varies directly as the square of s and inversely as t.
x =
:
How does x change when s is doubled?
Since s is squared, doubling s is the same as 2^2, hence 4 times
:
When both s and t are doubled?
t is in the denominator, therefore x = half as much, t is 4 times as much
therefore: .5 * 4 hence, 2 times
