Answer:

0.0398 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question that

An apple picker in China earns an average wage of 45 cents per hour.

Mathematically

1 hour= 45 cents............ Equation 1

An apple picker can harvest about 2.0 bushels of apples each hour.

Mathematically

2.0 bushels = 1 hour ..............Equation 2

We are told that each bushel contains about 126 apples

1 bushel = 126 apples

2 bushels =

126 × 2

= 252 apples

Combining Equation 1 and 2 together,

We can say

An apple picker in 1 hour harvests 2 bushels of apples which is 252 apples and is paid 45 cents

1 hour = 2 bushels of apples

1 hour = 252 apples

1 hour = 45 cents

Hence we can say fro harvesting 252 apples, an apples picker is paid 45 cents

Mathematically,

252 apples = 45 cents

One gallon of apple juice requires 40 apples

We are to calculate the labor cost of one gallon of apple juice in dollars

If : 252 apples = 45 cents

40 apples = X cents

Cross Multiply

40 × 25 = 252 × X

X = (40× 25) ÷ 252

X = 3.984063745 cents

Hence the labor cost of 40 apples = 3.984063745 cents

Approximately = 3.98 cents

Converting 3.98 cents to dollars

100 cents = 1 dollar

3.98 cents =

= 3.98/100

= 0.0398 dollars.

Therefore, the labor cost of one gallon of apple juice in dollars is 0.0398 dollars.

Answer:

B)

Step-by-step explanation:

For the function y=-5x, all coordinates this line passes through should make this inequality true.

\begin{case}y=5(-7)=35\\y=-2(-5)=10\\y=2(-5)=-10\end{case}

This corresponds with table B.
