Question 793251: The time to drive to Charlotte, NC varies inversely with your average speed. If it takes 3 hours to drive there with an average speed of 55 miles per hour, how long will it take you to drive to Charlotte if your average speed is 40 miles per hour? What is the values of the constant of variation? What physical quantity does the constant of variation represent in this example? Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Time varies inversely with average speed
Time = k/Average speed
k = Time * Average speed
k = 3 * 55
k = 165
Time = 165/Average Speed
Time = 165/40
Time = 4 hours 7.5 minutes.
Hope this helps.
