the speed R to drive a constant distance is inversely proportional to the time T.
\n" ); document.write( " Shari drove from her home to her vacation cottage in 6 hours at a rate of 35 miles per hour.
\n" ); document.write( " find the rate she needs to drive to get back in 5 hours.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "r = rate to make in 5 hrs
\n" ); document.write( "an inverse ratio equation
\n" ); document.write( "\"r%2F35\" = \"6%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "5r = 6 * 35
\n" ); document.write( "r = 210/5
\n" ); document.write( "r = 42 mph to make it in 5 hrs
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check it. find the distance traveled at each speed, should be the same
\n" ); document.write( "35 * 6 = 210 mi
\n" ); document.write( "42 * 5 = 210 mi
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
