<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The complete question is in a comment above. The statements says that:

  • Sean wrote the equation 9.25=5m
  • m is the cost per pound.
  • The equation show the relationships between the total cost, $9.25, and the number of pounds of pears.

So we are asked to write an write an equation to show the cost y of x pounds of pears. In other words, we need to write an equation such that y is given in terms of x, where x is the pounds of pears. So:

y=f(x)

From the equation we can determine m as:

m=\frac{9.25}{5}=1.85

So each pound costs $1.85. The equation tells us that 5 pounds of pears result costs $9.25. Then, by proportion:

\frac{y}{x}=\frac{9.25}{5} \\ \\ y=1.85x

So choosing the number of pounds as 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, the table would be:

\begin{array}{cc}x(\text{Number of pounds}) & y(\text{Cost in dollars})\\0 & 0\\1 & 1.85\\2 & 3.7\\3 & 5.55\\4 & 7.4\\5 & 9.25\end{array}

From the table we can know that the graph is a line. that passes through all these points. Since this line passes through the origin, then y varies directly as x (Direct Proportion).

Alejandra can husk 8 ears of corn in 24 minutes. At this rate, how many ears of corn can she husk in 33 minutes?
8_murik_8 [283]
I'm afraid you're wrong. We may divide 24 by 8 to find out how long does it take for Alejandra to husk 1 ear of corn and then just divide 33 by the result:

24 ÷ 8 = 3

So Alejandra husks 1 ear of corn in 3 minutes.

33 ÷ 3 = 11

Answer: In 33 minutes Alejandra can husk <u>11 ears of corn</u>.

In the pattern, there are some similarities with the first three circles.

1. The number is on the blue half.

2. The halves switch spots, red-blue, blue-red, red-blue.

So, the next one should have the number on the blue half and the next pattern should be red-blue, blue-red, red-blue, and blue-red.

Which one has both the number on the blue half and the pattern blue-red?

Heights of male students in the eighth grade are normally distributed with a mean of 57.2 in. and standard deviation of 2.4 in.
romanna [79]
<span>In statistics finding percentiles relates to the standard deviation and something called a z-score. For normally distributed data the z-score represents how many standard deviations above or below the mean that group is a part of. The z-score for normally distributed data for the 90th percentile is 1.28. The standard deviation is then multiplied by the z-score to find, in this case, the shotlrtest height needed to be in the 90th percentile of this population. In this case to be in the 90th percentile your height must be 60.27 inches.</span>
