Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:Option B. [tex]p=k/b[/tex]Step-by-step explanation:we know thatA relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent an inverse variation if it can be expressed in the form [tex]y*x=k[/tex] or [tex]y=k/x[/tex]Letp-----> the number of paintersb----> the time taken to paint the buildingwe know that[tex]p*b=k[/tex]so[tex]p=k/b[/tex]
