There are 54 students in the marching band. they form equal rows, so that there are no fewer than 5 rows and no more than 10 students in each row. how many rows can they form and how many students will be in each row?

They can form 9 rows with 6 students in each row.

They can form 54 rows with 1 student in each row.

They can form 27 rows with 2 students in each row.

They can form 18 rows with 3 students in each row.

This is because all of these numbers are factors of 54.

54 = 1 x 54, 2 x 27, 3 x 18, or 6 x 9.

the slope of the first function is -3. (3/1)

the slope of the second function is 1. (13-10/6-3).

since |-3| is greater than |1|, the function with the steepest slope is the first.
