I need to translate this statement into symbols. "The number of hours it takes to paint a house is inversely proportional to the number of people painting."
I believe the answer is "t equals n over k"
N being the number of workers and T being the numbers of house.
--------------------
t = k/n I think
t = # of hours
k = a constant, varies with the size of the house
n = # of people
--> more people working means fewer hours
--------------------------
T being the numbers of house.
The address? What "numbers of house." ?
