Substitute the values given.
-2-3(2) then solve
Your answer should be -8
The statement suppose <span>that r varies directly with s and inversely with t is best represented as:
r </span>α s/t
To make it into equality, we insert a proportionality constant, k:
r = ks/t
Using the initial conditions, we solve for k.
r = ks/t
<span>r = 2 when s = 3 and t = 12
2 = k(3)/12
k = 8
Thus, when </span><span>s = 5 and t = 4,
</span>
r = 8(5)/4
r = 10 -----> OPTION C
