Answer:
20.8 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that hours (h) varies inversely with age (a) then the equation relating them is
h = [tex]\frac{k}{a}[/tex] ← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition h = 52 when a = 20, thus
52 = [tex]\frac{k}{20}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 20 )
1040 = k
h = [tex]\frac{1040}{a}[/tex] ← equation of variation
When a = 50, then
h = [tex]\frac{1040}{50}[/tex] = 20.8 hours
