Question 471867: "The area of a classroom space per student varies inversely with the number of students in the room. When there are 15 students in the room, each student has 20 sq ft of space. How many square feet of space are available per student when there are 25 students in the classroom?"
I can't figure out how to plug this in and solve in the inverse variation formula. Thank you in advance for your help!
