Answer:

Rate of change = $0.55/pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

To ship a 2 pound item it costs $6.09.

To ship a 7 pound item it costs $8.84.

So, we can put the data in co-ordinates (x,y) such that x co-ordinate represents the mass of the item in pounds and y co-ordinate represents the cost of the item in dollars.

So, we will have two points

(2,6.09)\ and\ (7,8.84)

Rate of change is the slope (m) of the line joining the points and is given by:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\frac{8.84-6.09}{7-2}

m=\frac{2.75}{5}

m=0.55

∴ Rate of change = $0.55/pound

Problem 37

<h3>Answer: B. 4 & 1/4 gallons</h3>

-------------------

Work Shown:

The 3/4 and 1/2 add up to (3/4)+(1/2) = (3/4)+(2/4) = 5/4 = 1&1/4

The whole part 1 is then added to the other whole parts 1 and 2 to get 1+2+1 = 4

Overall, the grand total is 4 & 1/4

An alternative way is to convert each mixed number to a decimal to get 1&1/2 = 1+1/2 = 1+0.5 = 1.5 and 2&3/4 = 2+3/4 = 2+0.75 = 2.75

Add up those decimals 1.5+2.75 = 4.25

then convert that result to a mixed number: 4.25 = 4+0.25 = 4+1/4 = 4&1/4

================================================
