15 pounds each and 16 watermelons= 240 pounds. (15x16=240)
The rate of change is simply the derivative of a function with respect to the other variable. In this case the rate of change with respect to x is desired. Therefore
f(x) = x^3 - 3x^2
f'(x) = 3x^2 - 6x
therefore the rate of change of y with respect to x is dy/dx = 3x^2 - 6x
Answer:
There were 20 picks total
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use a proportion to solve this problem. Put the orange picks on top and the total picks on bottom
3 orange 12 orange
-------------- = ---------------
5 total x total
Using cross products
3x = 5*12
3x= 60
Divide each side by 3
3x/3 = 60/3
x = 20
There were 20 picks total
