The cost or unit price for purchasing each pair of work gloves is $1.19.

The cost of 7 dozen pairs of padded work gloves purchased by the contractor is $99.96.

The incorrect unit price calculated by the contractor is $14.28 per pair.

Now, we know 1 dozen is equal to 12 units.

Therefore,

The number of pairs of gloves purchased = 7 × 12 = 84

As the total cost is $99.96, the cost of each pair will be:

= $99.96 ÷ 84

= $1.19

The error by the contractor was that she didn't consider the word dozen in his calculation. She simply divided the total cost by 7 to calculate the price per pair.

The unit price of purchasing each pair of work gloves is $1.19.

oksian1 [2.3K]

The least to greatest slope, the segments are B, C, and A.

We have given that,

The water level of a tank every minute since it began filling is indicated by segments A, B, and C on the graph below.

A graph represents the water level to fill the tank on Y-axis per time on X-axis.

The rate of increase of water level is indicated by the slope of the segment. The slope is the ratio of rise to run, and is related to the angle the segment makes with the +x axis.

Segments that have more rise for the same run have greater slope. Segments that make a larger reference angle with the +x axis have a larger slope.

Here, segment B has the least slope, followed by C, then A, which has the largest slope.

In order, the least to greatest slope, the segments are B, C, and A.
