12-pack for 1.69 is a better buy

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, Mike bought a 12-pack for 1.69 and Mary bought a 24-pack for 3.18

We have to find which is the better buy

First we have to find the unit rate

Unit rate is cost of 1 pack

<em><u>Mike bought a 12-pack for 1.69</u></em>

Therefore,

Cost of 12 pack = 1.69

Cost of 1 pack is found by dividing 1.69 by 12

cost\ of\ 1\ pack = \frac{1.69}{12} = 0.14083

Thus unit rate of Mike is 0.14083 dollar per pack

<em><u>Mary bought a 24-pack for 3.18</u></em>

Cost of 24 pack = 3.18

Cost of 1 pack is found by dividing 3.18 by 24

cost\ of\ 1\ pack = \frac{3.18}{24} = 0.1325

Thus unit rate of Mary is 0.1325 dollars

<em><u>On comparing both the unit rate</u></em>

0.14083>0.1325

Thus unit rate of Mike is larger

Thus, 12-pack for 1.69 is a better buy

Selena was comparing the flying speeds of different birds in science class. Which of the three birds flies fastest? Why?
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Option C. The robin flies fastest because its rate is 15 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the time in seconds

y ----> the distance in meters

The speed is equal to divide the distance by the time

In this problem, the slope or unit rate of the linear equation is the same that the speed

<em>Robin's Flight</em>

<em>Find the slope</em>

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

take two points from the table

(2,30) and (3,45)

substitute in the formula

m=\frac{45-30}{3-2}

m=\frac{15}{1}

m=15\frac{m}{sec}

<em>Cardinal's Flight</em>

y=10x

m=10\frac{m}{sec}

<em>Blue Jay's Flight</em>

take two points from the graph

(0,0) and (2,20)

substitute in the formula

m=\frac{20-0}{2-0}

m=\frac{20}{2}

m=10\frac{m}{sec}

Compare

The robin flies fastest because its rate is 15 m/s

so

using a proportion

Find out how many stations represent a percentage of 100%

\frac{6}{25\%}=\frac{x}{100\%}\\\\x=6(100)/25\\\\x=24\ stations
