Marcus needs 108 inches of wood to make a frame. how many feet of wood does marcus need for the frame?

Basically, you are just simply converting inches to feet.
So we need to convert 108 inches to x feet.
12 inches = 1 foot
So, if 12 inches equals 1 foot, just divide 108 by 12 to get the number of feet.
108÷12≈9
So,  108 inches equals your answer of 9 feet.

-Hope this helped :)

Okay so n is going to represent our first number. since the second number of five times greater than n, the second number will be represented as 5n. for us to figure out the two  numbers we need to have  the value of n first. this is going to be done by adding the two numbers together, n and 5n. it can be simplified as 6n, which the problem states is equal to 72. divide 72 by 6n and you can solve for n.  n+5n=726n=72n=(72/6)n=12  now that we know the value of n, we have to multiply 5 times 12 which equals 60. so our two numbers/integers are 12 and 60

S(x) is a function. a function is a special relationship where, a single input gives a single output. an x values only gives 1 y value. usually, this form is f(x) but can be represented with any other letter, still holding the same meaning. hope i : )
