3 workers take 10 days to make a boat. How long would 5 workers take.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "# of workers an # of days are inversely related.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "d = k/w
\n" ); document.write( "--
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"k\" using \"3 workers take 10 days to make a boat\".
\n" ); document.write( "10 = k/3
\n" ); document.write( "k = 30
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "d = 30/w
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "How long would 5 workers take.
\n" ); document.write( "d = 30/5
\n" ); document.write( "d = 6 days (# of days for 5 workers to do the job)
