Answer:
Multiply by 3;9
Step-by-step explanation:
9/3=3
12/4=3
18/6=3
27/n=3
N=9
Gizmo eats two bowls in 3 minutes, which means in a minute he would eat a fraction of 2/3 of the bowl.
On the other hand, leo eats one bowl in 6 minutes hence in a minute he eats a fraction of 1/6 of a bowl.
When both combine, then in one minute they can eat a fraction of 2/3+1/6= 5/6.
Therefore, in ten minutes they will take 10× 5/6 = 8.333 equivalent to 8 bowls and a third of a bowl
1.
"The spending limit on John’s credit card is given by the function f(x)=15,000+1.5x"
means that if the monthly income of John is $ 5,000 ,he can spend at most
f(5,000)=15,000+1.5*5,000=15,000+ 7,500=22, 500 (dollars)
Or for example
if Johns monthly income is $8,000, then he can spend at most
f(8,000)=15,000+1.5*8,000=15,000+ 12,000=27,000 (dollars)
2.
Now, assume that the maximum amount that John can spend is y.
Then, y=15,000+1.5x
we can express x, the monthly income, in terms of y by isolating x:
y=15,000+1.5x
1.5x = y-15,000
X=y-15,000/1.5
thus, in functional notation, x, the monthly income, is a function , say g, of variable y, the max amount:
X=g(y) y-15000/1.5
since we generally use the letter x for the variable of a function, we write g again as:
G (x) x-15000/1.5
tells us that if the maximum amount that John can spend is 50,000 $, then his monthly income is 23,333 $.
3.
If John's limit is $60,000, his monthly income is
G(600,000)=60,000-15,000/ 1.5=45,000/1.5 =30,000
dollars.
Answer: $ 30,000
Remark: g is called the inverse function of f, since it undoes what f does.
instead of g(x), we could use the notation
Answer:
2.38 lb bag = 4.99/lb 5.08 lb bag = 5.21/lb The 2.38 is the better buy
Step-by-step explanation:
1.88/2.38 = 4.99
26.47/5.08 = 5.21
4.99 is cheaper than 5.21 so the 2.38 lb bag is better buy
