Problem

An electrical device operates at a constant power of 60 W60\text{ W}, so current II (in A) and voltage VV (in V) satisfy IV=60IV=60. If the current is 3 A3\text{ A} and decreasing at 0.20 A/s0.20\text{ A/s}, find the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage at that instant, giving appropriate units.
