Answer: multiply it by .1 or just move the decimal point once to the left ex :
10% of 40 is 4
<span>The answer is 5. The question wants you to compose the functions to get g(x) composed of f(x). Typically, when composing functions your substitute the second function into the first function in place of x. However, the function g(x) is constant at 5 since it has no x values. g(x)=5 means that g(x) is 5 at all values of x. Thus, in this case, it doesn't matter that we are doing a composition because the top-level function is g(x) and g(x) is 5 no matter what.</span>
This is a conversion problem. We know that 1 mile is 5280 feet, right? Since Ellie lives 2 miles, and two is double of 1, we just take 5280 and multiply that by two (or add it twice) to find how many feet is between Ellie's house and school. 5280 x 2 = 10560 (you get the same answer if you add 5280 twice). Therefore, 10560 feet lies between Ellie's house and school.
