If 3 farmers took 5 hours to plow 6 fields
\n" ); document.write( "how long would it take 1 farmer to plow 6 fields?
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "time is directly related to # of fields and inversely related
\n" ); document.write( "to # of farmers.
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "t = k*f/m
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"k\" \"If 3 farmers took 5 hours to plow 6 fields\".
\n" ); document.write( "5 = k*6/5
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "k = 25/6
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "How long would it take 1 farmer to plow 6 fields?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "t = (25/6)f/m
\n" ); document.write( "time = (25/6)(6/1)
\n" ); document.write( "time = 25 hours
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
