To get the answer, divide 3852 feet by 4 days. That will give you an average of 963 feet per day as your answer.
We have that an inverse variation in a function is given by:
![y = k / x ](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%20%3D%20k%20%2F%20x%0A)
We must find the value of the constant k.
To do this, we substitute the values of x1 = 12, y1 = 15.
We have then:
![15 = k / 12 ](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=15%20%3D%20k%20%2F%2012%0A)
Clearing k we have:
![k = (15) * (12) k = 180](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=k%20%3D%20%2815%29%20%2A%20%2812%29%0A%0Ak%20%3D%20180)
Substituting the value of k we have that the inverse variation is:
![y = 180 / x ](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%20%3D%20180%20%2F%20x%0A)
For y2 = 3 we have:
![3 = 180 / x2 ](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3%20%3D%20180%20%2F%20x2%0A)
Clearing x2 we have:
