suppose 5 people can peel 8 baskets of apples in 3 hours.
\n" ); document.write( "# of people is directly related to # of baskets and inversely related
\n" ); document.write( "to n umber of hours.
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "p = k*b/h
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"k\" using \"5 people can peel 8 baskets of apples in 3 hours\":
\n" ); document.write( "5 = k*8/3
\n" ); document.write( "k = 15/8
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "p = (15/8)(b/h)
\n" ); document.write( "-----\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "t persons can peel w baskets in ? hours.
\n" ); document.write( "h = (15/8)(b/p)
\n" ); document.write( "hrs = (15/8)(w/t)
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "and t persons can peel ? baskets in z hours
\n" ); document.write( "z = (15/8)(?/t)
