if 12 horses can feed in a field for 12 months. How many can feed in 1 month.
----
# of horses and # of months are indirectly related.
---
h = k/m
---
Solve for "k" using "if 12 horses can feed in a field for 12 months"
12 = k/12
k = 144
----
Equation:
h = 144/m
----
How many can feed in 1 month?
h = 144/1
h = 144 (# of horses that can feed for one month = 144)
