- When 6 painters are used, it takes 5 hours to paint.

If p represents the number of painters and h represent the number of hours required to paint the house, which statement is true about this relationship?

F. The time required to paint a house varies directly with
the number of painters because h = 30p.
G. The time required to paint a house varies directly with
the number of painters because ph = 30.
H. The time required to paint a house varies inversely
with the number of painters because h = 30p.
J. The time required to paint a house varies inversely
with the number of painters because ph = 30.
