Question

8. 500 Vanessa is in charge of organizing volunteers to make sandwiches to feed the homeless during the Memorial Day weekend. She needs to have 500 sandwiches made so she will want to get the help of as many volunteers as possible to assist her and the 3 other paid staff who will also be making the sandwiches. Use the function s(v) = to determine s(v), the number of sandwiches each person will have to make based on v, the number of volunteers working.

Answer 1

ANSWER

EXPLANATION

In this problem, we have to complete the table by replacing v with each value from 0 to 6 in the table, and compute the corresponding value of s(v) based on the equation,

$s(v)=\frac{500}{v+4}$

Find the values for the table,

$v=0;s(0)=\frac{500}{0+4}=\frac{500}{4}=125$$v=1;s(1)=\frac{500}{1+4}=\frac{500}{5}=100$$v=2;s(2)=\frac{500}{2+4}=\frac{500}{6}\approx83.3$$v=3;s(3)=\frac{500}{3+4}=\frac{500}{7}\approx71.4$$v=4;s(4)=\frac{500}{4+4}=\frac{500}{8}=62.5$$v=5;s(5)=\frac{500}{5+4}=\frac{500}{9}\approx55.6$$v=6;s(6)=\frac{500}{6+4}=\frac{500}{10}=50$
