The number of sticks of gum varies directly as the number of packages. There are 36 sticks of gum in 2 packages. Suppose you have 5 packages of gum. The direct variation equation to determine how many sticks you have is giving you sticks of gum

Each packet gives you 18 sticks of gum. If you asked how many in 5 packets it would be 90 sticks.

the correct answer is 45x

9×5=45 then add the x

3/4 ÷ 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

basically divide any proper fraction with itself to fit the criteria.

so if we are using 3/4, then:

3/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1

so 1 is the quotient.

and the numerators for both these fractions is 3.   and if we divide the numerators:

3 ÷ 3 = 1

we see that quotient is equal to our original quotient as well.
