Juan had 5 candy bars for himself and 4 friends to share with after lunch. Then three other friends joined them. Juan divided the 5 candy bars equally with all of his friends. How much did each person get?

5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 5 people when 3 more join for a total of 8 people

5 candy bars divided by 8 people

Take the candy bars and divide by the people

5/8

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
