There is a team of students who are raking a yard for community service. 5 students could rake the yard in 2 hours (meaning, that each student puts in 2 hours of work simultaneously). Or, if there were 20 students, they could rake the yard in half and hour. If X represents students, and Y represents the number of hours each student would need to rake, what is the equation?

Answer:

This is an easy but also hard one lol.

If the 5 students could do it in 2 hours then it would take one person 10 hours. 10/x=y.
