The number of hours h that it takes m men to assemble x machines varies directly as the number of machines and inversely as the number of men. If four men can assemble 12 machines in four hours, how many men are needed to assemble 36 machines in eight hours?
h = hours
k = constant of proportionality
x = machines
m = number if men
I want to answer the question. Before moving forward, let me know if my equation is correct.
h = (kx/m)
Correct equation?

I say that solving word problems is the best skill a student can develop. I missed out on good jobs in the past because I simply couldn't get beyond word problems. Financial Advisor at Bank One is a perfect example. The bank representative said that my score was the lowest in the history of the bank in that particular area in Springfield Missouri in 2006. To every student out there, please do yourself a favor and master word problems.
