Jack has 60 toys. He wants to store all of them in boxes. Each box can hold 9 toys. How many boxes does Jack need?

The key word is 'all'. There is a remainder because 9 doesn't go into 60 evenly. He wants to store all the toys, so he needs an extra box for the leftover toys.

Answer:

y=(5/3)x

Step-by-step explanation:

Since y varies directly with x, then the constant of proportionality is equal to k=y/x. Since y/x=20/12=5/3, then k=5/3. This means the equation to relate x and y is y=(5/3)x

For f(x)=2x+1 and g(x)=x^2-7, find (f/g)(x)

Drupady [299]

The question is asking us to divide the function f(x) by the function g(x).

Knowing this, we can perform the division:
(2x+1)/(x^2-7) = (f/g)(x)
The simplest answer is $\frac{2x+1}{ x^{2} - 7}$ , as there is no way to further simplify the problem. This means that there is a discontinuity where $x = \sqrt{7}$ , as it is impossible to divide by 0.

Ivahew [28]

Given that the US population is approximately 308,000,000 in 2010 and that 6.5% of this population is under 5 years of age, we will know that number of children by multiplying 6.5% by 308,000,000. So the answer would be 20,020,000. So that is the number of children below 5 years old. Hope this helps.
