The time t (in weeks) it takes workers to complete a project varies inversely with the number n of workers. It takes 6 workers 6 weeks to complete the project. Write an inverse variation equation that relates t and n.​

Answer:

Equation of inverse variation is [tex]t=\frac{36}{n}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

6 workers takes 6 weeks to complete the project.

To find: Write an inverse variation Equation that Relates t and n.

So, Indirect variation is defined as when two variables change its properties inverse proportion  to each other known as Indirect variation.It is written as when two variables [tex]x\ and\ y[/tex] varies inversely proportion then,

                         [tex]xy=k[/tex] , here k is constant of inverse variation.

Now, From the Question

Inverse variation will be in the form for given scenario:    [tex]t=\frac{k}{n}[/tex]

Where, [tex]t[/tex] is time taken by workers and [tex]n[/tex] is number of workers.

Substituting the values we get,

                                                 [tex]6=\frac{k}{6}[/tex]   ⇒[tex]k=36[/tex]

Therefore, Equation of inverse variation is [tex]t=\frac{36}{n}[/tex].
