A size 36 shoe in France is size 3.5 in England.
A function that converts shoe sizes in France to those in England is g(x)=3x-94 over 4 fraction.
g(x) = (3x-94)/4
----------------------
A size 6 shoe in the United States is size 3.5 in England.
A function that converts shoe sizes in England to those in the United States is f(x)=x+5 over 2 the 5/2 is a fraction.
f(x) = x + (5/2)
-----
a. Use composition of functions to find a function that converts shoe sizes in France to those in the United States. Simplify the function.
f(g(x))= f[(3x-94)/4] = (3x-94)/4+(5/2) = [(3x-94)/4]+(10/4) = (3x-84)/4
----------------------------------------
b. Determine the shoe size in the United States for a size 38 shoe in France.
f(g(38)) = (3*38-84)/4 = 7.5
