One bag of chips serves about 5 people. if you want to have a picnic with 18 people, how many whole bags of chips should you get? assume you want as little left over as possible.

4 bags of chips

Step-by-step explanation:

1 bag                     x bags

=

5 people            18 people

using cross products

1 * 18 = 5 * x

18 = 5x

divide by 5

18/5 = x

3 3/5 =x

but we can't buy 3/5 of a bag of chips so we round up

4 bags of chips

33

step-by-step explanation: g=6

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
