Four members of the crew, working together, are able to pour foundations in 32 hours. What is the constant of variation?

Question

This problem is pretty hard. I need help please in order to solve it. Thank You. It is Algebra word problems.

Answer 1

In order to find the constant of variation (k) on this problem you want to take

k = xy , where x is the number of crew members and y is the time it takes to pour the foundations

for this set of information that means

k = 4(32) = 128
