Magazine sales. Henry sold 120 magazine subscriptions in

x days.
a) Write a rational expression for the rate at which he sold
the subscriptions.
b) Suppose that he continues to sell at the same rate for
5 more days. Write a rational expression for the number
of magazines sold in those 5 days.

rate of magazines sold per day

= total number sold/number of days
= 120/x

so in 5 days wouldn't it be 5 times that?

Thanks so much so the problem would look like this

120x=x
and the second would look like this
120x=5*x

a) To find the rational expression for the rate at which Henry sold the subscriptions, we need to determine the number of subscriptions sold per day. We can do this by dividing the total number of subscriptions sold by the number of days:

Rate of subscription sales = (Total number of subscriptions sold) / (Number of days)

In this case, Henry sold 120 magazine subscriptions in x days, so the rational expression for the rate at which he sold the subscriptions would be:

Rate of subscription sales = 120 / x

b) If Henry continues to sell at the same rate for 5 more days, we can determine the number of magazines he would sell during that time period by multiplying the rate of subscription sales by the number of days:

Number of magazines sold in 5 days = (Rate of subscription sales) * (Number of days)

Since the rate of subscription sales is 120 / x, and the number of days is 5, the rational expression for the number of magazines sold in those 5 days would be:

Number of magazines sold in 5 days = (120 / x) * 5
