Question 560089
it takes 6hr for 5 cooks to prepare the food for a wedding dinner. How long will it take 9 cooks to prepare the dinner. What kind of variation applies to this situation. Solve the problem
<pre>
Inverse variation because the more the cooks the less the time.

(5 cooks)(6 hours) = (9 cooks)(x hours)

                30 = 9x
                {{{30/9}}} = x
                {{{3&1/3}}} = x

3 hours and 20 minutes.
