What does the generator do?
The generator picks two direct-proportion scenarios (price, fuel) and two inverse ones (workers/days, speed/time) and numbers chosen so the answer is always a whole number.
How to solve
For direct proportion: if quantity A is multiplied by k then quantity B is multiplied by k as well. For inverse proportion: if A is multiplied by k then B is divided by k. The product A · B stays constant for inverse proportion.
