Answer:
The x-int.s are (2, 0) and (4, 0) so the midpoint will be (3, 0).
Answer:
3.5 Grams
Step-by-step
set 2grams/60lbs equal to xgrams/105
x representing the amount of medicine needed for a 105lb child
Then you divide 60 by 105.
60/105=1.75
Now you multiply 2 by 1.75.
2 x 1.75 = 3.5
3.5 is your answer because 105 is 1.75 times more lbs than 60lbs
meaning you would need 1.75 times the amount of 2grams
to determine the value of x, which is 3.5grams
That is around 13 or 14 cents. The specific answer is 13.65853659 cents, but you can either round up to 14 or round down to 13 (rounding up to 14 is the correct way to do it.)
First you divide 1.12 by 8.2 to get the unit rate because It takes $1.12 to buy 8.2 ounces. 1.12/8.2=13.65853659
Hope this helped!
