A girl bought 3 and 3/4 pounds of spinach for $6.88 using the unit rate how much would 1 and 1/2 pounds of spinach cost?

1 answer:

7 0

To solve that question you need to figure out how much 1 and 1/2 pounds is compared to 3 and 3/4 pound, and then use that ratio to get the price.

1 and 1/2 pound = 1.5 pound
3 and 3/4 pound = 3.75 pound

1.5/3.75 = 0.4

That means she needs to pay 0,4 of the price of 3 and 3/4 pound

0.4 * 6.88 = 2.75

So the answer is that she needs to pay $2.75 for 1 and 1/2 pound of spinach

The equations of the functions are y = -4(x + 1)^2 + 2, y = 2(x - 2)^2 + 1 and y = -(x - 1)^2 - 2

<h3>How to determine the functions?</h3>

A quadratic function is represented as:

y = a(x - h)^2 + k

<u>Question #6</u>

The vertex of the graph is

(h, k) = (-1, 2)

So, we have:

y = a(x + 1)^2 + 2

The graph pass through the f(0) = -2

So, we have:

-2 = a(0 + 1)^2 + 2

Evaluate the like terms

a = -4

Substitute a = -4 in y = a(x + 1)^2 + 2

y = -4(x + 1)^2 + 2

<u>Question #7</u>

The vertex of the graph is

(h, k) = (2, 1)

So, we have:

y = a(x - 2)^2 + 1

The graph pass through (1, 3)

So, we have:

3 = a(1 - 2)^2 + 1

Evaluate the like terms

a = 2

Substitute a = 2 in y = a(x - 2)^2 + 1

y = 2(x - 2)^2 + 1

<u>Question #8</u>

The vertex of the graph is

(h, k) = (1, -2)

So, we have:

y = a(x - 1)^2 - 2

The graph pass through (0, -3)

So, we have:

-3 = a(0 - 1)^2 - 2

Evaluate the like terms

a = -1

Substitute a = -1 in y = a(x - 1)^2 - 2

y = -(x - 1)^2 - 2

Hence, the equations of the functions are y = -4(x + 1)^2 + 2, y = 2(x - 2)^2 + 1 and y = -(x - 1)^2 - 2
