This is an awful question. They mean to say the number of hours practicing <em>per week</em> (we'll call it h) varies inversely with the <em>time</em> (t) she runs her event. Unless they mean to imply more practicing makes Tyler slower, in which case she should just get a pizza.
Inverse variation means the product is a constant, we'll call it k.
ht = k
When h = 1 hour t=6 minutes
(1)(6) = k
k = 6 (hour*minutes, but as long as we're consistent we don't need to sweat the unit.)
Decreasing her time by one minute means t = 6 - 1 = 5. We solve for h.
ht = k
h = k/t = 6/5 = 1.2 hours
Answer: 1.2 hours, second choice
It would take 2.8 hours ((3.5 hours x 2.4 Mph)/3Mph) hours for Max to cover the same route walking 3 mph. This problem can be solved by using the velocity equation which is the velocity is equal a change in position divided by a change of time. The amount of time can be found assuming that Max walks in a constant velocity from the starting point until the finish point of 8.4 miles distance (3.5 hours x 2.4 mph)<span>.</span>
