1) he is not reasonable because pounds per feet would mean you would do 7.3/14.6 which is a decimal
hope this helped :)
Answer:
x² - 16xy + 64y²
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference of x and 8y is x - 8y
The square of the difference is (x - 8y)² = (x - 8y)(x - 8y)
Expand by multiplying each term in the second factor by each term in the first factor, that is
x(x - 8y) - 8y(x - 8y) ← distribute both parenthesis
= x² - 8xy - 8xy + 64y² ← collect like terms
= x² - 16xy + 64y²
Answer:
a. $0.47 per ounce
b. $0.36 per ounce
c. the gallon size costs less per ounce
Step-by-step explanation:
A unit rate is a rate that is expressed with one unit in the denominator. That is, it is <some amount> per unit. The <some amount> value will generally depend on what unit is chosen. This problem suggests the desired unit is 1 oz of paint.
__
<h3>a.</h3>
Unit cost for a quart:
ratio = cost/ounces = $14.99/(32 oz) ≈ $0.468/oz ≈ $0.47/oz
__
<h3>b.</h3>
Unit cost for a gallon:
ratio = cost/ounces = $45.99/(120 oz) ≈ $0.359/oz ≈ $0.36/oz
__
<h3>c.</h3>
The cost per ounce is less for the gallon size. If at least 3 quarts of paint is needed, then buying it in the gallon size will cost less.
If less than 3 quarts are needed, then a gallon container will cost more than is necessary for the paint required. The "better deal" depends on the amount of paint required.
