SOLUTION: 1. Fuel consumption, F, varies inversely with speed, S. Therefore, F = K/S. F is measured in (has the units of ) miles/gallon S is measured in (has the units of) miles/hr At 60

Question 217129: 1. Fuel consumption, F, varies inversely with speed, S. Therefore, F = K/S.
F is measured in (has the units of ) miles/gallon
S is measured in (has the units of) miles/hr
At 60 miles/hr, fuel consumption is 30 miles/gal
a. What is the value of �k� and what are the units of �k�?
b. What is the fuel consumption at 50 miles/hr?
