The answer is 9. If you multiply the denominator of the first fraction by 3, you get the denominator of the second fraction. To find the top number of the second fraction, you also have to multiply the numerator by 3. Therefore the answer would be 9.

24 / 8 = 3

This shows that 8 was multiplied by 3 to get 24.

3 * 3 = 9

Now, we know that 9 solves the proportion. (x = 9)

To check, we can simplify 9/24.

9/24 → 3/8

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!

Lily is a botanist who works for a garden that many tourists visit. The function f(s) = 2s + 30 represents the number of flowers
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

  A. b(w) = 80w +30

  B. input: weeks; output: flowers that bloomed

  C. 2830

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Part A:</h3>

For f(s) = 2s +30, and s(w) = 40w, the composite function f(s(w)) is ...

  b(w) = f(s(w)) = 2(40w) +30

  b(w) = 80w +30 . . . . . . blooms over w weeks

__

<h3>Part B:</h3>

The input units of f(s) are <em>seeds</em>. The output units are <em>flowers</em>.

The input units of s(w) are <em>weeks</em>. The output units are <em>seeds</em>.

Then the function b(w) above has input units of <em>weeks</em>, and output units of <em>flowers</em> (blooms).

__

<h3>Part C:</h3>

For 35 weeks, the number of flowers that bloomed is ...

  b(35) = 80(35) +30 = 2830 . . . . flowers bloomed over 35 weeks
