Answer:

Each age is 12 more than the last so the rate of change would be twelve.

Yes it is linear, every twelve pounds is 2.5 more millimeters of dosage.

Answer:

a) Rate of change is 0.208

Rate of change is change in Y divided by the change in X. Let Y be the Dosage. Let X be the Weight.

Subtract first dosage from the second:

7.5 - 5 =2.5

Subtract the first weight from the second:

36 - 24 = 12

Now divide:

2.5 ÷ 12 = 0.208

b) It is linear. Instead of subtracting the first from the second, just subtract the second from third:

10 - 7.5 = 2.5

48 - 36 = 12

Or the third from the fourth

12.5 - 10 = 2.5

60 - 48 = 12

Or the fourth from the fifth

15 - 12-5 = 2.5

72 - 60 = 12

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

You will use 2 cups of blue paint for 4 cups of yellow paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

There is 1/3 cup of blue paint for every 2/3 cup of yellow paint

We will find unit rate in terms of yellow paint.

2/3 cups of yellow paint = 1/3 cup of blue paint

Multiplying both sides by 3/2

\frac{2}{3}*\frac{3}{2}=\frac{1}{3}*\frac{3}{2}\\1\ cup\ of\ yellow\ paint = \frac{1}{2}\ cup\ of\ blue\ paint

Now,

4 cups of yellow paint = 4*\frac{1}{2} cups of blue paint

4 cups of yellow paint = 2 cups of blue paint

Hence,

You will use 2 cups of blue paint for 4 cups of yellow paint.
