Answer:
thats too long to read but good luck!
Step-by-step explanation:
As the width gets larger so does the total area
<u>Part 1)</u> Use the fact that there are 12 inches in a foot
a) How many inches tall is a 7 foot basketball player?
we know that
1 foot=12 inches
so by proportion

therefore
<u>the answer Part 1a) is</u>

Part b) If a yard is a 3 feet long, how many inches are in a yard?
we know that
1 yard=3 feet
1 foot=12 inches
so
Convert 3 feet to inches
by proportion
therefore
<u>the answer Part 1b) is</u>

<u>Part 2) </u>At the farmer's market two pounds of peaches cost $4.20 How much will five pounds cost?
by proportion
therefore
<u>the answer Part 2) is</u>

<u>Part 3) </u>Janice mother gave her a ten dollars bill to buy five pounds each of bananas and apples at the grocery store. When she got there she found that bananas were 80 c per pound and apples were $1.40 per pound.
Did Janice's mother give her enough money? If so, should she receive any change? If not, how much more money does she need?
we know that
<u>Find the cost of the bananas</u>

<u>Find the cost of the apples</u>

Sum the cost of the bananas and the cost of the apples

------> Janice's mother didn't give her enough money
She needs more money
She needs-------> 
therefore
<u>the answer part 3) is</u>
She needs
more
Answer:
(Change in y)/(change in x) is defined as the average rate of change.
For a linear equation:
y = a*x + b
A is the average rate of change, and is called the "slope" of the linear equation, and this is a constant.
Then the sentence will be:
"The average change between two ordered pairs (x,y) is the ratio (change in x)/(change in y)
In a linear function, this is called the slope, and it is constant"
