Question 1097341: Every year on Earth​ Day, a group of volunteers pick up garbage at Hidden Falls Park. The time it takes to clean the beach varies inversely with the number of people picking up garbage. Last​ year, 34 volunteers took 4 hours to clean the park. If 60 volunteers come to pick up garbage this​ year, how long will it take to clean the​ park?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
t, time to clean the park
k, variation constant
n, how many volunteers
t=k%2Fn, the time varies inversely with n.

Last year....
k%2Fn=t
k=nt
k=34%2A4
k=136
MODEL: highlight_green%28t=136%2Fn%29


What is t if n=60?
