(4) A drill team arranges themselves in the following manner. On one occasion they form lines consisting of 3 members each and on another occasion lines consisting of 4 members each. They also make circles of 9 members each. If the drill team must have more than 250 members, use the divisibility rules to find the minimum number of members that could be in the team.

part a

x     y

0     8

1     7.5

2     7

3     6.5

4     6

5     5.5  

for every hour i deducted .5 inches from the length of the candle

part b

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

part   c

for every x value there is only one y value

x       y

0       8

1       7.6

2       7.2

3       6.8

step-by-step explanation:

you didn't post any answer choices, so its not 100% clear what your teacher is looking for

however, log(15/7) is equivalent to log(15) - log(7)

i'm using the rule log(x/y) = log(x) - log(y)

60: 45 =12: 9 =4: 3 so the answer is 4: 3
