Answer 1

Answer:

The time is inversely related to the number of people working so that as the number of people working increases, the time required decreases

t = k p  

divide both sides by p  

t/p =k

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is c.  T/p=k

Step-by-step explanation:

We can say that

t= k p       or    k=t/p   or   p= t/k

The options given are:

P/t=k  incorrect

K/t=p  incorrect

T/p=k  correct

P/k=t incorrect
