The speed of a turtle is indirectly proportional to its weight in pounds. At 10 pounds, the turtle's speed was 0.5. What is the speed of the turtle if it grew and weigh 50 pounds?
The number of hours needed for a contractor to finish a job varies indirectly with the total number of people the contractor hires. If the job is completed in hours when there are
