Magazine sales. Henry sold 120 magazine subscriptions in
x days.
a) Write a rational expression for the rate at which he sold
the subscriptions.
120sub/xdays = (120/x)subs per day
---------------------------------------
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.
5(120/x) = (600/x) in 5 days
