Assuming that there is no wastage of beef.
Note that 3 1/2 = 7/2 = 14/4 = 14 * 1/4
This means that we can have 14 sets of quarter pound beef.
This in turn means that George can make 14 quarter pound burgers.
Answer:
x = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 3 = 4x + 2
-2x -2x
3 = 2x + 2
-2 -2
1 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2x
x = 1/2
Answer:
416 g
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean is calculated as
mean = 
, then
= 398 ( multiply both sides by 5 )
sum of 5 pods = 1990 g
let x be the weight of the sixth pod , then
= 401 ( multiply both sides by 6 )
1990 + x = 2406 ( subtract 1990 from both sides )
x = 416
That is the weight of the sixth pod is 416 g
Problem 3
This is not an exponential function. If you were to graph this out, you would see a parabola forming. Or at the very least, a parabolic-like curve forms. An exponential curve only increases or only decreases for the entire domain. However, in this case, we have an increasing portion, and then it decreases.

Problem 4
This is an exponential function. Each time x increases by 1, y is multiplied by 4. The equation that models these points is y = 4^x. Note how the function is strictly increasing and there are no decreasing portions mixed in.
