Question
the time, T, to travel a fixed distance varies inverselt with the rate , R , of travel , If T =4 and R=20 mi/hr, Find T when R=50 mi/hr
Answers

To find T when R = 50 mi/hr, we can use the equation that relates T and R for inverse variation:
T = k/R
We can solve for k by plugging in the values of T and R given:
4 = k/20
Multiply both sides by 20:
80 = k
Now we can use the value of k to find T when R = 50 mi/hr:
T = k/R
T = 80/50
T ≈ 1.6 hours
T = k/R
We can solve for k by plugging in the values of T and R given:
4 = k/20
Multiply both sides by 20:
80 = k
Now we can use the value of k to find T when R = 50 mi/hr:
T = k/R
T = 80/50
T ≈ 1.6 hours
