Question:

Davis wants to pour 5 gallons of punch into ½ gallon jugs How many jugs will he need?

A. 2½

B. 5½

C. 10

D. 15

Answer:

Number of jugs = 10

Davis will need 10 jugs to pour 5 gallons of punch into ½ gallon jugs.

Step-by-step explanation:

David has 5 gallons of punch that he wants to pour into jugs.

The capacity of 1 jug is ½ gallon.

The required number of jugs may be found as

Number of jugs = gallons of punch/capacity of jug

For the given case, we have

Gallons of punch = 5

capacity of jug (in gallons) = ½ = 0.5

So, the required number of jugs is,

Number of jugs = 5/½

Number of jugs = 5/0.5

Number of jugs = 10

Therefore, Davis will need 10 jugs to pour 5 gallons of punch into ½ gallon jugs.

What is the graph of the function <br> f(x)=−⌊x⌋

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation being shown in the question is the absolute value of x. Absolute values when graphed show up as a V-shaped graph pointing upwards. This is because whatever value is passed as an input will output a positive, regardless of whether the input is positive or negative. Meaning that both 4 and -4 will output 4. That is why the graph is a V-shaped because the outputs repeat for both positive and negative inputs. In this case since the negative is outside the absolute value brackets the positive value given from the absolute value of the input will be turned into a negative. So this will cause the V-shape graph to be reflected across the x-axis. As seen in the attached picture below.
