You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You have some value for t and you want to increase it by 50%, or multiply by 3/2. Now, if $\"t+=+1%2Fk\"$ , then $\"3t%2F2+=+3%2F2k\"$ by multiplying both sides by 3/2. Now we only have to rewrite the right side to 1/{something}. $\"3%2F2k=1%2F%282k%2F3%29\"$ , so we have to multiply k by 2/3. In other words, we have to decrease k by 33.3%. \n" ); document.write( "
