A) The variable on the horizontal axis of the graph (the independent variable) is "pounds of rice". That is what the first number in the ordered pair (6, 18) represents.
The variable on the vertical axis of the graph (the dependent variable) is "total cost in dollars". That is what the second number in the ordered pair represents.
(6, 18) represents that the total cost of purchasing 6 lbs of rice is $18.
B) The unit price is found at the point where the independent variable has the value 1. That would be at the point (1, 3), which indicates the unit price is $3 per pound.
C) You would have to buy 4 lbs of rice for the total cost to be $12. There are at least two ways to find the answer.
- Draw a horizontal line on the graph at cost = $12. It intersects the graph at lbs = 4.
- Divide the total cost by the unit price. $12/($3/lb) = 4 lb.

Answer:
40 mpg
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the unit rate which is 1/8 we just divide 15 by 3 which is 5 and to find the mpg of the full gallon now that we have the unit rate we just multiply the 1/8 or 5 miles by 8 which would give us 8/8 or 40 miles.
