document.write( "Question 983859: Suppose a quarterback has a completion percentage, P, that is inversely proportional to the square root of the length of the throw, L. When the length of the throw is 25 yards, the quarterback's completion percentage is 40%. What will be the quarterbacks's completion percentage for throws that have a length of 16 yards?\r
