\n" ); document.write( "The number of dolphins varies directly as the number of tuna. The number of tuna changes by a factor of 16/125, so the number of dolphins changes be a factor of 16/125.

\n" ); document.write( "The number of dolphins varies inversely as the square of the number of sharks. The number of sharks changes by a factor of 2/5, so the number of dolphins changes by a factor of (5/2)^2 = 25/4.

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: (50)(16/125)(25/4) = 40

\n" ); document.write( "
