Instead of doing your problem for you, I'll do one exactly like it
with the numbers changed.
Find the constant of proportionality when T varies inversely as S, 
and T = 0.3 when S = 9. 

Then write the specific inverse variation equation that relates T and S.

Find the constant of proportionality when 

T varies inversely as S, 

T=k%2FS

and T = 0.3 when S = 9.

0.3=k%2F9

9%2A0.3=9%2Aexpr%28k%2F9%29

2.7=k

Then write the specific inverse variation equation that relates T and S.

T=2.7%2FS

Now do yours with your numbers the same way.
