Question

Jamal is running 42 kilometers. The amount of time t it takes Jamal to run varies inversely with the rate, r, at which he runs, write the inverse variation equation that represents this situation

Answer 1

Answer:

t α 1 /r ; t = k/r

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Time taken, t varies inverse as rate, r

MATHEMATICALLY,

t α 1 /r

Hence,

t = k/r ;

Where, k is the proportionality constant

Hence, the situation could be expressed as :

t = k/r OR

t α 1 /r
