If 5 men to paint five flagpoles in 5 hours, how many men are needed to paint the 15 flagpoles in 15 hours?
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "# of men and hours are inversely related
\n" ); document.write( "# of men # of flagpoles are directly related
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "men = k*poles/hrs
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"k\" using \"5 men paint five flagpoles in 5 hours\"
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "5 = k*5/5
\n" ); document.write( "k = 5
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "# of men = 5*poles/hrs
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Solve \"how many men are needed to paint the 15 flagpoles in 15 hours?\".
\n" ); document.write( "# of men = 5*15/15
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "# of men = 5
