speed varies inversely with time
\n" ); document.write( "s = speed
\n" ); document.write( "t = time
\n" ); document.write( "k = proportional constant
\n" ); document.write( "s = k(1/t)
\n" ); document.write( "15 = k(1/2.5)
\n" ); document.write( "k = 2.5 * 15
\n" ); document.write( "k = 37.5
\n" ); document.write( "50 = 37.5(1/t)
\n" ); document.write( "t = 37.5/50
\n" ); document.write( "t = .75 or three quarters of an hour
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
