Answer: -0.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
The constant of variation k for the direct variation is given by:-
The given table:
x f( x )
0 0
2 -1
4 -2
7 -3.5
Then,
Hence, the constant of variation k for the direct variation is -0.5.
4 cannot go into 23 equally BUT! if you do 23 divided by 4 you'll get 5.75 which rounds up to 6. So on average she'll need 6 bowls for her 23 strawberries.
Edit: It should be 5 bowls because if she wants to put an equal amount of strawberries into her bowls it should be 5.
Hope it helped. :)

One way to approach this would be to express 125^2 as (125)(125).
Note also that 125^(4^3) = 125^(1 + 1/3) = (125)(5)
Therefore, the given expression boils down to
(125)(125) 125
--------------- = ------- = 25
5 (125) 5
There are other ways in which you could reduce the given expression.
