There are x children in the first grade at lee elementary school. each child will be given five crayons to do an art project. crayons come in boxes of 24. how many boxes need to be purchased for the art project?

The number of boxes need to be purchased for the art project will be

Explanation

Total number of children is and each child will be given 5 crayons.

So, the total number of crayons needed will be :

Now, crayons come in boxes and each box contains 24 crayons. Suppose, the number of boxes need to purchased is . So.....

Thus, the number of boxes need to be purchased for the art project will be

can i get the link to the assignment?

step-by-step explanation:

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
