The number of toys in the closet varies inversely with the number of children in the room.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "t = k/c
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"k\" using \"If there are 15 toys in the closet when there are 3 children in the room\"
\n" ); document.write( "15 = k/3
\n" ); document.write( "k = 45
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "t = 45/c
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "How many toys are in the closet when 5 children are in the room ?
\n" ); document.write( "t = 45/5
\n" ); document.write( "# of toys = 9
