Question

The graph shows the relationship.....

Answer 1

Answer:

Part A: That 6 pounds of rice costs $18

Part B: (1,3) represents the unit price

Part C: 4 pounds of rice, because $12/3 equals 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: The first point, 6, is on the amount of rice axis and the second point, 18, is on the total cost axis.

Part B: The unit price means the price for just 1 of something, so if you go to 1 pound of rice on the graph, you see it's at 3 on the total cost axis. Which means that 1 pound of rice costs $3.

Part C: From Part B you know that 1 pound of rice equals $3. So if you spend $12, then you can divide that by $3 to see how many pounds of rice you bought. 12/3 equals 4, so you bought 4 pounds of rice. Or you can count by 3's until you get to 12: 3, 6, 9, 12. That's 4 times so that means you bought 4 pounds of rice.
