Three people can pick all the apples from five trees in five hours. How long will it take five people?
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "time to pick all the apples is directly related to # of trees and inversely
\n" ); document.write( "related to # of people.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "time = kT/p
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"k\" using \"Three people can pick all the apples from five trees in five hours.\"
\n" ); document.write( "5 = k5/3
\n" ); document.write( "k = 3
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Equation for this problem:
\n" ); document.write( "time = 3T/p
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Problem: How long will it take five people?
\n" ); document.write( "t = 3*5/5
\n" ); document.write( "---
