Question 1198146: Solve. Show your work.
(16) “b” varies inversely as the square root of “c”. If b = 1 when c = 16, find b when c = 6.




(17) n is inversely proportional to t+3. If t = 1 when n = 3, find t when n = 4.
Show work.




(18) When a seesaw is perfectly balanced, each person’s distance, “d,” from the fulcrum varies inversely as his weight, “w.” If a 120-pound person sits 5 feet from the seesaw fulcrum, where must a 150-pound person sit to balance the seesaw? Show work.

Direct variation and inverse variation descriptions are extremely formal in a very consistent way and are easy to translate into their equations.

#16:
b=k%2Fsqrt%28c%29

#17:
n=k%2F%28t%2B3%29


#18:
d=k%2Fw


What to do with the question on each is very simple algebra.
