The time it takes to clean the beach varies inversely with the number of people picking up garbage.
Last year, 33 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?
:
write an inverse relationship equation =
60t = 4 * 33
t =
t = 2.2 hrs or 2 + .2(60) = 2 hr 12 min
