Inverse variation
Question
Six fisherman can catch 3 kilos of fish in 5 hours. so 10 fisherman can catch them in 3 hours.
First step:Translate the given problem into mathematical equation.
F=K/T
Second step:Determine the value of the constant variation of K.
6=K
1_5
K=30
Third step:Write the equation of variation.
F=30/T
Fourth step:Solve for the unknown.
F=30/3
F=10
10 fisherman can catch the same amount of fish in 3 hours.
