<h3>Answer: 1/15 of a classroom per minute</h3>

=================================================

Work Shown:

1/3 of a classroom = 5 minutes

3*(1/3 of a classroom) = 3*5 minutes

1 classroom = 15 minutes

It takes the janitor 15 minutes to mop a full classroom.

The rate is expressed in units of classrooms per minute. This means we'll need to divide both sides by 15 to get

1 classroom = 15 minutes

1/15 classroom = 15/15 minutes

1/15 of a classroom = 1 minute

The janitor's rate is 1/15 of a classroom per minute.

Match the pairs of values of f(x) and g(x) with the corresponding values of h(x) if h(x) = f(x) ÷ g(x). Tiles f(x) = x2 − 9, and

vitfil [10]

For this case we must solve each of the functions.
We have then:

f (x) = x2 - 9, and g (x) = x - 3
h (x) = (x2 - 9) / (x - 3)
h (x) = ((x-3) (x + 3)) / (x - 3)
h (x) = x + 3

f (x) = x2 - 4x + 3, and g (x) = x - 3
h (x) = (x2 - 4x + 3) / (x - 3)
h (x) = ((x-3) (x-1)) / (x - 3)
h (x) = x-1

f (x) = x2 + 4x - 5, and g (x) = x - 1
h (x) = (x2 + 4x - 5) / (x - 1)
h (x) = ((x + 5) (x-1)) / (x - 1)
h (x) = x + 5

f (x) = x2 - 16, and g (x) = x - 4
h (x) = (x2 - 16) / (x - 4)
h (x) = ((x-4) (x + 4)) / (x - 4)
h (x) = x + 4
