SOLUTION: The time t required to empty a wastewater-holding tank is inversely proportional to the sectional area A. If it takes 2.0 hours to empty a tank with a drainage pipe of A = 48in^2,

Question 1095020: The time t required to empty a wastewater-holding tank is inversely proportional to the sectional area A. If it takes 2.0 hours to empty a tank with a drainage pipe of A = 48in^2, how long will it take to empty a tank with A = 68in^2
