Answer: 30 feet per second

========================================

x = diameter, y = speed of water

y varies inversely with respect to x, so, y = k/x for some constant k

If x = 0.6 and y = 5 pair up, then y = k/x turns into 5 = k/0.6 which solves to k = 3 when you multiply both sides by 0.6

So the equation y = k/x turns into y = 3/x

Now plug in the diameter x = 0.1 to find the speed to be...

y = 3/x

y = 3/0.1

y = 30 feet per second
