Select the correct answer.
A pizza restaurant starts the day with a certain amount of pizza dough. The length of time the dough will last varies inversely with the number of
medium pizzas made.
If they need to make 32 medium pizzas, the dough will last 5 hours. How long will the dough last if they need to make 40 pizzas?
OA 2.75 hours
OB. 4 hours
OC.
8 hours
OD. 6.25 hours

Respuesta :

The length of time needed for the dough to last if 40 pizzas is required is 4 hours.

Inverse variation

let

  • length of time = l
  • number of pizza = p

l = k / p

where,

k = constant of proportionality

If l = 5 and p = 32

l = k / p

5 = k / 32

5 × 32 = k

160 = k

Find l when p = 40

l = k / p

l = 160/40

l = 4 hours
