You can put this solution on YOUR website! it takes 6 people 2hours to build 5 chairs,how many chairs can x people build in y hours?
------------------
# of people and number of chairs are directly related
# of people and number of hours are indirectly related
-------
# of chairs = k*p/hr
----
Solve for "k" using "it takes 6 people 2hours to build 5 chairs"
5 = k*6/2
k = 5/3
---
Equation:
c = (5/3)p/hr
how many chairs can x people build in y hours?
c = (5/3)x/y = (5x)/(3y)
