If 5 tractors can plow a field in 4 hours, how many hours will it take 3 tractors to plow the field? I know the answer, I just don't know how to solve it...

OpenStudy (jennychan12):

first think of the scenario. 5 tractors, 4 hours. 3 tractors. it obviously has to take more time right? so it's inverse relationship |dw:1357861470262:dw|

it is inverse ratio. you must mutliply numbers of tractors with hours. results must be equal.
