Answer 1

Answer:

A and D

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to select the expressions that represent the number of vacation days per x days worked.

Now, to do this, what we simply first do is to get the number of days to takes to get one paid vacation. In the question , we are made to know that he gets 3 days paid vacation for 60 days of work. The number of days to get a single paid vacation would thus be 60/3 = 20 days. This means she gets one paid vacation in 20 days.

Now, we are told after working for x days, how many paid days vacation does she get. To know this, what we do is to first know the number of 20 days in x days. That would simply be x/20. This is the number of vacation days she gets in x days.

now, we check if there are similar options to this.

D is also correct. This is because x/20 is same as 0.005x
