{(c,e),(c,d),(c,b)} is NOT a function since the input c has multiple outputs (e,d,b). So choice B is out

{(b,b),(c,d),(d,c),(c,a)} is NOT a function either. The input 'c' corresponds to the output 'd' and 'a' at the same time. So choice C is out too

Choices A and D are the answer. They are functions since any given input corresponds to exactly one output.

J.K. Rowling and R.L. Stine are both reading the hunger games. J.K. reads 35 pages every 2 hours and R.L. reads 45 pages every 3

Attention:THIS IS PART B ONLY!

First,find the unit rate.

35/2 and x/1

35 divided by 2 = 17.5 so the unit rate for J.K. is 17.5 pages per hour.

now,R.L.

45/3 and x/1

45 divided by 3 = 15 so the unit rate for R.L. is 15 pages per hour

now we need to divide 355 by 17.5 and divide it by 15.Whichever quotient is smaller,finishes the book first

355 divided by 17.5 = about 20 hrs----J.K.
