The time, T (seconds) it takes for a pot of water to boil is inversely proportional to the cooker setting, H ,applied to the pot.
When H=6 T=90.
What must the cooker setting be if it takes 5 minutes to boil the water?

Answer:

[tex]1.8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the time for the pot of water to boil is inversely proportional to the cooker setting, H, as one goes up, the other must go down:

[tex]T\propto \frac{1}{H}[/tex]

Convert 5 minutes to seconds:

[tex]5\cdot 60=300\:\mathrm{s}[/tex]

Therefore, from the initial data given (When H=6, T=90), the new time is [tex]\frac{300}{90}=3\frac{1}{3}[/tex] larger. Therefore, H must be [tex]3\frac{1}{3}[/tex] times smaller for them to be inversely proportional.

[tex]H=\frac{6}{3\frac{1}{3}}=\boxed{1.8}[/tex]
