What do you mean this sentence?
the time a pump takes to drain the pool varies inversely with the power in watts of the pump,
The meaning would be : if we have a power in watts greater the time to drag the pool will be less because the relation between power and time is inverse.
40 watts--------------5 hours)
100 watts------------ x
because the relation between power and time is inverse, we multiply directly.
40 watts(5 hours)=100 watts x
x=(200 watts hours) / 100 watts=2 hours.
Answer: the time would be 2 hours. (the new pump is faster)
We know there are a total of 36 marbles. We also know 24 out of 36 are black and 12 out of 36 are blue. A ratio is pretty much a division problem... The problem wants the 24 black marbles over the 12 blue marbles. So, 24/12 = 2/1. Now, what this means is that for every 2 black marbles, there is one 1 blue marble. Good luck!
