Answer:

y=\frac{24}{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a certain function is an inverse proportion. We are asked to find the formula for the function if it is known that the function is equal to 12 when the independent variable is equal to 2.  

We know that two inversely proportional quantities are in form y=\frac{k}{x}, where y is inversely proportional to x and k is constant of variation.

Upon substituting y=12 and x=2 in above equation, we will get:

12=\frac{k}{2}

Let us solve for constant of variation.

12\cdot 2=\frac{k}{2}\cdot 2

24=k

Now, we will substitute k=12 in inversely proportion equation as:

y=\frac{24}{x}

Therefore, the formula for the given scenario would be y=\frac{24}{x}.

enot [183]

Answer:

$1.59 for a pint,

two dollars for a quart,

299 for a gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, rate is used to compare different kinds of quantities and it is the ratio of the quantities,

Also, unit rate states the amount of first quantity corresponding to the unit amount of second quantity,

When we talk about the unit rates for a quantity,

Then it shows the price of the quantity per unit amount.

Thus, by the above explanation it is clear that,

The unit price for representing the price of juice would be,

$1.59 for a pint,

two dollars for a quart,

299 for a gallon.

Note : we do not consider 'one dollar for 12 ounces' a unit price because it is not the price per 1 ounce.
