Question

Does the point (9.5, 144) make sense in this context? Explain

Answer 1

Answer:

No it doesn't

Step-by-step explanation:

You have a table that relates the number of packets of flavoring with the ounces of water needed to make soup.

The rate of ounces of water needed for each packet of flavour is a constant and can be computed as follows:

24/2 = 60/5 = 84/7 = 120/10 = 144/12 = 12

The point (9.5, 144) where 9.5 refers to number of packets of flavoring and 144 to ounces of water,doesn't make sense because doesn't satisfied the previous ratio.

144/9.5 ≈ 15.16

Answer 2

No, (9.5, 144) does not make sense because there is no point of 9.5 and when you divide the ounces of water by the flavoring packets you end up with 12, and if you were to simplify that it would end up with 1 flavor packet and 12 ounces of water.
