First you know you'll divide by -2, so the sign will be flipped.
That eliminates the first and second options, then you'll just have to do math.
If n = –2, then m is equal to 13;
If n = 0, then m is equal to 7;
If n = 1, then m is equal to 4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Write an expression to show how to calculate the number of buses needed. Make sure to include parenthesis to show what should be done first since order of operations is important.
(9*25)+4+(2*4)=237 (total number of people going to the museum
Each bus,excluding the driver,holds 44 people
237/44 = 5.3863636363.......
2. How many buses will be needed?
6 buses are needed
3. Why must the answer to the problem be a whole number?
Buses cannot be divided in fractions It should be or 5 buse or 6
But 5 buses are not enough
4. Why shouldn't you round the answer the usual way?
Even when rounded it is still a decimal and buses need to be counted by whole number
5. Can your answer be classified as a rational number? Explain why or why not.
6 is a rational number (whole number)
5.38636363.......is rational ( repeating decimal
