Answer 1

If B carries 3 books at a time in 1st trip he puts 3 in the shelf, in 2nd 6, in 3rd 9... Do you understand how it works?

Answer 2

yes , but what about the questions at the bottom. thats what I need help with.

Answer 3

Well, he will go until all the books are in the shelf. If he carries 1 book at a time he goes 24 times, if he carries 3 books, he goes x times. if he carries more books at a time he goes less times. (inverse).

Answer 4

so what would be the final formula or equation to this question?

Answer 5

3*x=24.

Answer 6

so inverse , formula of finding k is 3*x=24 , and original question anwser is 3

Answer 7

sorry original question anwser 8

Answer 8

Number of trips =number of books / books in a trip ( y = 24/x ) that´s inverse, and the answer is 8.

Answer 9

so thats the question anwsers at the bottom mainly

Answer 10

like what would I write exactly as the anwsers in order at the bottom. srry

Answer 11

a) 24/3 = 8
b)Inverse..
c) y = (1/x)*24. So k = 1/x.
d) y is number of trips, 1/x is k and 24 are the total books B must carrie.

Answer 12

thank you so much

Answer 13

Glad to help
