write an equation to model the total number of dreams that feature people you know. Make sure to define your variables

Question

It is believed that 3/4 of our dreams involve people that we know

b) suppose you had 28 dreams last night. How many dreams involved people that you now ?

Answer 1

Let D be the number of dreams you have that feature people you know and let n be the total number of dreams you have.

Then D = 3/4n or, since D is a function of n, we can write D(n) = 3/4n

Suppose you had 28 dreams last night, then n = 28.

So D(28) = 3/4(28) = 3*7 = 21 so you had 21 dreams featuring people you know
