Sum means add
the number is x
13 divided by a number is 13/x
the number divided by the number is x/13
so

also can be simplified to

or

translated it is

where x is the number
Answer:
The cafeteria provides three meals per day.
<u>Reason 1</u>
Yes, they vary directly
As number of days increases ,Total number of meals i.e
1st day ⇒ 3
2nd day⇒6
3 rd day⇒9
4th day⇒12
......................
.........................
increases.
Total number of Meals = k×Number of days
But there is another possibility also
<u>Reason 2</u>
1 st day ⇒ 3
2nd day ⇒3
3rd day⇒ 3
.....................
.....................
As you can see from the above expression On each day number of meals is
constant.
So we can say that ,
On each Day=Constant amount of meal=3
So, there is no Proportionality between Days and Meal.
PEMDAS.....parenthesis, exponents, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction
so step 2 is solving the exponents <==
