The cost of pumpkin seeds is proportional to

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Part 1) The unit rate is $\$0.25\ per\ ounce$

Part 2) A 56 ounce bag of pumpkin Seeds cost $14.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) What is the unit rate for the pumpkin seeds?

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $k=\frac{y}{x}$ or $y=kx$

Let

y ----> the cost of pumpkin seeds in dollars

x ---> the weight in ounces

we have

For x=24 ounces, y=$6

Find the value of the constant of proportionality k

$k=\frac{y}{x}$

substitute the values

$k=\frac{6}{24}=\$0.25\ per\ ounce$

The unit rate is the same that the constant of proportionality k

therefore

The unit rate is

$\$0.25\ per\ ounce$

Part 2) How much would 56. ounce bag of pumpkin seeds cost?

we know that

The linear equation is equal to

$y=0.25x$

For x=56 ounces

substitute in the linear equation and solve for y

$y=0.25(56)=\$14.00$

What do the letters I and P and R mean in "IPRT"?

cupoosta [38]

So P stands for principle which is the amount of the original investment, R stands for rate which is the percent but must be turned into a decimal, T stands for time for example if the time was in a certain amount of months then you plug that in with x/12, and lastly I stands for interest which is the original investment outcome ^_^

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Since the equation is undefined for -2

Therefore, NO SOLUTION for the given equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the expression

$\frac{3}{a+2}-6\cdot \frac{a}{-4+a^2}=\frac{1}{a-2}$
