Algebra.Com's Answer #27916 by fractalier(6550)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The equation for this inverse relation is \n" ); document.write( "t = k/r \n" ); document.write( "Now plug in to find k... \n" ); document.write( "5 = k/80 \n" ); document.write( "k = 400 \n" ); document.write( "Now rewrite it using the new k and plug in the new data... \n" ); document.write( "t = 400/r \n" ); document.write( "t = 400/7 hrs or 57 1/7 hours \n" ); document.write( " |
