Jeremy washes 3/8 of the plates from dinner if 16 plates were used how many plates did Jeremy wash

6

Step-by-step explanation: we simplify 1/16 by dividing it in half, so half of 16 is 8. And according to the question there were 3/8 washed plates. So we reverse that by multiplying the fraction by 2. 3/8•2= 6/16.

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
