Question 490729: At depths of more than 1000 m (a kilometer),water temperature T (in degrees Celsius) in the Pacific Ocean varies inversely as the water depth
d (in meters). If the water temperature at 4000 m
is 1°C, what would it be at 8000 m in degrees Celsius (state your answer in decimal format, rounded to the nearest hundredth)?

At depths of more than 1000 m (a kilometer), water temperature T (in degrees Celsius) in the Pacific Ocean varies inversely as the water depth d (in meters).
If the water temperature at 4000 m is 1°C, what would it be at 8000 m in degrees Celsius?
(state your answer in decimal format, rounded to the nearest hundredth)?
:
Use an inverse ratio equation
T%2F1 = 4000%2F8000
T = .5 degrees
