Problem
Suppose that 
cows give 
gallons of milk in 
days. At this rate, how many gallons of milk will 
cows give in 
days?
$\textbf{(A)}\ \frac{bde}{ac}\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ \frac{ac}{bde}\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ \frac{abde}{c}\qquad\textbf{(D)}}\ \frac{bcde}{a}\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \frac{abc}{de}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)
Solution
We see that the the amount of cows is inversely proportional to the amount of days and directly proportional to the gallons of milk. So our constant is 
.
Let 
be the answer to the question. We have
