Can you think of any other examples of functions?
<em>Yes! Like putting a check in the bank, that is the input- and then the money you take is the output. You can even use food to compare input and output! Ingredients are the input, and the final dish/dessert is the output. If you wanted something more mathematical, you can use a graph to find the input and output. If you know a few points, you can create a whole line of x and y points, where x= input and y=output. You can also consider getting gas for your car, the money is the input, and the gas (in return) is the output. <== these are just a few examples.
</em>
Why might this type of equation be useful?
When you are trying to find the points for a line or looking for the unit price for something, functions can be very useful! You can find what y would be when x equals 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. I know I use this all the time! For example, trying to find the best price for something in the grocery store. There are a lot of options, and if you find the unit price with functions, it makes it easier to get the best deal.
I hope this helps!

45/1.5 would give us
30 dosages total
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
This situation has two unknowns - the total number of half dollars and the total number of quarters. Because we have two unknowns, we will write a system of equations with two equations using the two unknowns.
- h+q=31 is an equation representing the total number of coins
- 0.50h+0.25q=11 is an equation representing the total value in money based on the number of coin. 0.50 and 0.25 come from the value of a half dollar and quarter individually.
We write the first equation in terms of q by subtracting it across the equal sign to get h=31-q. We now substitute this for h in the second equation.
0.50(31-q)+0.25q=11
15.5-0.50q+0.25q=11
15.5-0.25q=11
After simplifying, we subtract 15.5 across and divide by the coefficient of q.
-0.25q=-4.5
q=4
We now know of the 31 coins that 4 are quarters.

Answer: it took him 0.075 seconds lesser
Step-by-step explanation:
In his first heat, his time was 2.45 seconds greater than his friend's record time. In his second heat, his time was 2 3/8 seconds greater than his friend's record time. Converting 2 3/8 seconds to decimal, it becomes 2.375 seconds
Therefore, he was fastest in the second heat.
The difference between the time he used to run in the second heat than in the first heat is
2.45 - 2.375 = 0.075 seconds
