- The force needed to break a board varies inversely with its length. Richard uses 24 pounds of pressure to break a 2-foot long board. a. Write the equation of variation. b. How many pounds of pressure is needed to break a 5-foot long board?arrow_forwardThe distance a moving body travels, d, varies directly with time, t, it moves. A train travels 100 miles in 2 hours (a) Write the equation that relates d and t. (b) How many miles would it travel in 5 hours?arrow_forwardThe time required to empty a pool varies inversely as the rate of pumping. It took Lucy 2.5 hours to empty her pool using a pump that was rated at 400 gpm (gallons per minute). a. Write the equation of variation. b.
