Hello there!
We have the following equation:
c + p = 15 (c = carrots, p = potatoes)
Previously, we had this equation:
2 + 4 = 6.
2 is 1/3 of 6, and 4 is 2/3 of 6. The sum of these two fractions make a whole.

Let's apply this rule to 15 servings.
Since we are looking for thirds, divide 15 by 3 to solve for 1/3, or "p".
15 / 3 = 5
We have 5 potatoes.

Now, we must remember that the amount of carrots is twice the amount of potatoes.
Divide 15 by 3, then multiply that quotient by 2.
15 / 3 = 5
5 * 2 = 10

We have 10 carrots.

Your final answer is:
Winston will need 5 potatoes and 10 carrots.

I hope this helps!

The scatter plot below shows the relationship between the diameter (x), in mm, and mass f(x), in grams, of a berry: ordered pair

ivann1987 [24]

For this case the first thing we must observe is that the mass increases 0.4 grams when the diameter increases 1 millimeter.
Therefore, the slope of the line is given by:
m = 0.4
Thus, the function that best suits the table is given by:
f (x) = -4 + 0.4x
For example, for x = 20 we have:
f (20) = -4 + 0.4 (20)
f (20) = -4 + 8
f (20) = 4
The result, matches the table.
Answer:
The function that is best represented by the scatter plot is:
f (x) = -4 + 0.4x

Determine whether the conjecture is true or false. Give a counterexample for any false conjecture.

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

The Answer is C. false; m =-2 or m=2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because:

2*2=4 being 4+6=10 Making 2 true, but

-2*-2= 4 as well making it 4+6=10, Making -2 true as well.
