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:

Consider the ordered pairs: (4, 28) and (10, 70)
Compute the slope of the line as follows:


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)


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.
Answer:
5.714 liters of the 5% solution and 4.286 of the 40%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the volume of 40% solution and y = volume of the 5% solution.
x + y = 10
0.40x + 0.05y = 0.20(x + y)
From the first equation x = 10 -y so we have:
0.40(10 - y) + 0.05y = 0.20( 10 - y + y)
4 - 0.40y + 0.05y = 2
-0.35y = -2
y = 5.714 liters of the 5%.
and x = 10 - 5.714 = 4.286 liters of the 40% solution.

Long division (check below)
With the same two numbers -14 and 5 we can write in a Long Division

So 
2nd. Both are terminating ones for they have finite quantities of numbers. -2.8 and 0.3571428571, as we can see that these are rational numbers for they can be written as a/b, and b≠ 0.
