<span>Let us solve the problem using an equation. Let x be the speed of one of the boats. The speed of the other boat will be x + 9. Both the boats have traveled for 6 hours, starting from 12:00 noon to 6:pm The distance they have traveled within 6 hours is 126 miles. The distance traveled by the first boat is x*6 = 6x Miles The distance traveled by the other boat is (x + 9) 6 = 6x + 54 Miles Thus, 6x + 6x + 54 = 126 Miles 12x = 126 - 54 12x = 72 x = 72/12 x = 6 So the speed of one of the boats is 6 miles per hour and the speed of the other boats is 6 + 9 = 15 miles per hour.</span>

Since both the input and the output assume only integer values, the function is classified as discrete.

<h3>What are continuous and discrete variables?</h3>

  • Continuous variables: Can assume decimal values, hence they are represented by rational numbers.
  • Discrete variables: Assume only countable values, such as 1, 2, 3, …, hence they are represented by whole numbers, or even integers if it can be negative.

In this problem, all values on the table assume only integer values, hence the function is classified as discrete.

36/48 in simplest form
babunello [35]
Well you can simplify them by dividing by there greatest common factor. 
In this case they can both divide by 12!
Thats the biggest number they can divide by...
Soo..
36 ÷ 12 = 3 
----------------
48 ÷ 12 = 4 

So your answer is 3/4!

Good Luck! :)
