Natasha is wrapping gifts for the holidays to donate to a local community center. Natasha has 240 square feet of wrapping paper. If Natasha can wrap 8 gifts with 15 sq feet of paper; how many gifts can she wrap in total?

Natasha can wrap 128 gifts in total

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us use the ratio method to solve the question

∵ Natasha has 240 square feet of wrapping paper

∵ Natasha can wrap 8 gifts with 15 square feet

→ By using the ratio method

→  Gift  :  square feet

→   8     :  15

→   x      :  240

→ By using cross multiplication

∵ x × 15 = 8 × 240

∴ 15x = 1920

→ Divide both sides by 15

∵ x = 128

∵ x represents the number of gifts

∴ Natasha can wrap 128 gifts in total

no oblique asymptote

step-by-step explanation:

to find the oblique asymptote of f(x)

here numerator has degree 1 and denomintor degree 2

degree of numerator < degree of denominator

hence there is no oblique asymptote

when the degree of the denominator > that of the numerator, we saw that the value in the denominator got so much bigger, so quickly,   giving us a horizontal asymptote of the x-axis. or we can write

f(x) = a polynomial of x + a proper fraction.

in this case only we have oblique asymptotes but not when numerator has less degree.
