In an inverse proportion, as one value increases, the other value decreases. Therefore, the option that gives possible rates and times for two of his jogs is:
c. 4.5 mph for 3 hours and 6 mph for 4 hours
As the speed increases to 6 mph, the time decreases from 4 hours to 3 hours, demonstrating an inverse relationship between speed and time.
c. 4.5 mph for 3 hours and 6 mph for 4 hours
As the speed increases to 6 mph, the time decreases from 4 hours to 3 hours, demonstrating an inverse relationship between speed and time.
