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:

$\text{Slope}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Consider the ordered pairs: (4, 28) and (10, 70)

Compute the slope of the line as follows:

$\text{Slope}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

$=\frac{70-28}{10-4}\\\\=\frac{42}{6}\\\\=7$

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)

$\text{Slope}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

$=\frac{30-10}{6-2}\\\\=\frac{20}{4}\\\\=5$

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.

Write $\frac{99}{100}\cdot(0.\overline{4})$ as a fully simplified fraction.

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

$\frac{11}{25}$

Explanation:

The expression that must be rewritten as a fully simplified fraction is:

$\frac{99}{100}\cdot(0.\overline{4})$

You must, first, convert $0.\overline{4}$ as a fraction.

The line over the decimal 4 means that the digit 4 repeats indefinetly.

To find the fraction that represents this number you follow this procedure:

$F=0.\overline 4\\ \\ 10F=4.\overline 4\\ \\ 10F-F=4\\ \\ 9F=4\\ \\ F=4/9$

Now, you can mutiply both fractions:

$\frac{99}{100}.\frac{4}{9}=\frac{99\times 4}{100\times9}=\frac{11}{25}$
