Ms. Ayala had 152 pencils. She divided the numbers of pencils equally among 13 students. What is the greatest numberof pencils Ms. Ayala could have given each student

11

Step-by-step explanation:

she divides the number of pencils equally

so the number of pencils per student is 152/13

which is 11.692...

but she can't give 0.69 of a pencil so she gives only the whole part 11

and she keeps 9 pencils

step-by-step explanation:

to find if any function is an inverse of the other, put the first equation in as x in the next one. then simplify and solve. if at the end you get the statement y = x, then it is an inverse. if you get anything else, it is not.
