Question 870248: How do you solve this word problem?
If the voltage V in an electric circuit is held constant, the current I is inversely proportional to the resistance R. If the current is 50 amperes when the resistance is 204 ohms, find the current when the resistance is 120 ohms.

I%28alpha%29%281%2Fr%29
I=V%2FR%29%0D%0A%0D%0A%7B%7B%7B50+=V%2F204
V=204*50
I=+%28204%2A50%29%2F120
85 amps
