Answer:
Kendra ate 1/4 pounds of blueberries.
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of blueberries Sean had = 1/3 pound
The amount of blueberries Kendra ate = 3/4 of Total available
= 3/4 of (1/3 pounds)
Now, we need to find out the 3/4 amount of 1/3 pound.
3/4 of 1/3 pound =
⇒ 3/4 of the amount 1/3 pound = 1/4 pound
Hence Kendra ate 1/4 pounds of blueberries.

It depends on how b approaches 0
If b is positive and gets closer to zero, then we say b is approaching 0 from the right, or from the positive side. Let's say a = 1. The equation a/b turns into 1/b. Looking at a table of values, 1/b will steadily increase without bound as positive b values get closer to 0.
On the other side, if b is negative and gets closer to zero, then 1/b will be negative and those negative values will decrease without bound. So 1/b approaches negative infinity if we approach 0 on the left (or negative) side.
The graph of y = 1/x shows this. See the diagram below. Note the vertical asymptote at x = 0. The portion to the right of it has the curve go upward to positive infinity as x approaches 0. The curve to the left goes down to negative infinity as x approaches 0.
