Let the number of thirds be x.
(2/5) = x(1/3)
2/5 = x/3
x/3 = 2/5
x = 2/5 * 3
x = 6/5
x = 1.2
Two-fifths equals 1.2 thirds
By rewriting the given line, we can see that the slope is equal to -1/2 or -0.5
<h3>
How to get the slope of the given line?</h3>
Remember that a line is:
y = a*x + b
Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line, which is the point where the line intersects the y-axis.
Then, we can rewrite our equation:
x + 2y = 16
to:
2y = 16 - x
y = (16 - x)/2
y = (-1/2)*x + 8
Comparing with the general line equation, we can see that the slope is -1/2.

Answer:
1.

3. The first one represents Dale's commission
Explanation:
1. The composition of the function
means that you first apply the function g(x) and then f(x) on the output of g(x).
That is:
- f(x) = 0.05x
- g(x) = x - 3000


2. The composition of the function
means that you first apply the function f(x) and then g(x) on the output of f(x).
That is:

3. Which one represents Dale's commission
To calculate Dales's commision you must subtract $3,000 from the sales, to find the sales over $3000. That is: x - 3,000, which is the function g(x).
Therefore, you first use g(x).
Then, you must multiply the output of g(x) by 0.05 to find the 5% of the sales over $3,000. That is: 0.05(g((x)) = 0.05(x - 3000) = 0.05x - 150.
Therefore, the composition that represents Dale's commission is the first one:
