Answer:

(A) The rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $7.

(B) The price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $2 more than the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph for the prices of different numbers of bushels of corn at a store in the current year is shown below.

Part A:

The rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the current year based upon the number of bushels is known as the slope of the line.

The formula to compute the slope is:

\text{Slope}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

Consider the ordered pairs: (4, 28) and (10, 70)

Compute the slope of the line as follows:

\text{Slope}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

         =\frac{70-28}{10-4}\\\\=\frac{42}{6}\\\\=7

Thus, the rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $7.

Part B:

The data for the price of bushels in the previous year is as follows:

Number of Bushels Price

              2                   10

              4                  20

              6                  30

              8                  40

Compute the  rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year based upon the number of bushels as follows:

Consider the ordered pairs: (2, 10) and (6, 30)

\text{Slope}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

         =\frac{30-10}{6-2}\\\\=\frac{20}{4}\\\\=5

The  rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year is $5.

Thus, the price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $2 more than the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year.

A fruit company delivers its fruit in two types of boxes: large and small. a delivery of 6 large boxes and 5 small boxes has a t
Afina-wow [57]
6 large + 5 small = 127 kg ------------ (1)
2 large + 3 small = 51kg    ------------ (2)

<u>(2) x 3 :</u>
6 large + 9 small = 153 ---------------- (2a)

<u>(2a) - (1) :</u>
4 small = 26
1 small = 6.5kg   ------------ (sub into equation 1)

6 large + 5 small = 127 kg
6 large + 5(6.5) = 127
6 large + 32.5 = 127
6 large = 127 - 32.5
6 large = 94.5
1 large = 15.75 kg

Answer: The small box weighs 6.5kg and the big box weighs 15.75 kg

Order of operation? 5p^2 = h when p =2 and h = 8
Naddika [18.5K]

Given: p=2, h=8

5p^2=h

5(2)^2=8 ------- substitution here

5(4)=8

20 doesn't equal 8

I did exponents first because it comes before multiplication in the order of opertions.

Plz i need help and asap plus work pls and no files
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

so out of 32 marbles, 8 of them are red. This means the rest are blue which is 24 blue. To make a percentage, all you do is make a fraction. out of 32, 8 were red so 8/32. Fractions are basically division so 8/32 is 0.25. This means 25%.
