y varies inversely as v, and y=30 when v=6. I need to find y when v=36

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y varies inversely as v
So, y = k/v
----------------
y=30 when v=6
So, 30 = k/6
k = 180
------------
Now you know the equation is y = 180/v
---------
I need to find y when v=36
y = 180/36
y = 5
