Word Problem

Name: Anonymous 2007-05-07 0:34 ID:HQK0vr/8

VIDEOTAPES
A VHS videocassette contains 800 feet of tape.  In the long play mode (LP), it plays 10 feet of tape every 3 minutes.  Write a linear equation that relates the number of feet "f" of tape yet to be played and the number of minutes "m" the tape has been playing.

I've been staring at this damn word problem for about 15 minutes and don't really know were the hell to start with it.  Anyone able to show me how to work this out?

if literature is so great, how come ain't no english professor (no NOBODY) who solved Riemann's zeta-function hypothesis or no poincare conjecture (perelman that fucker couldn't even SPEAK english if his tenure depended on it)

x := 10/3 foots/minute * m [just some value we're calling x]
f = x IF x <= 800
f = 800 IF x > 800 [ain't no 800 foot tape what plays for 899 foots]
