Answer: 9 gallons

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Set up the proportion, then multiply to solve for the variable.

\dfrac{\frac{1}{2}\ \text{gallon}}{4\ \text{pints}}=\dfrac{x}{72\ \text{pints}}

(72\ \text{pints})\dfrac{\frac{1}{2}\ \text{gallon}}{4\ \text{pints}}=(72\ \text{pints)}\dfrac{x}{72\ \text{pints}}

\dfrac{36\ \text{gallons}}{4}=x}

9 gallons = x

Denise buys flour in bulk for her bakery. The cost per pound of flour is graphed below. Which BEST describes the function of the
bonufazy [111]
Based from the graph, I think the answer is D. a piece-wise function with separate pieces of linear and step-functions. This is because as you can see from the graph, for intervals [0,1], [5,6], and [10,11] the function is linear. On the other hand, for the remaining intervals, it has a constant value which can be described as a step function.

We need to isolate b by itself to find the value of b.

8b + 12 = 52

Subtract 12 from both sides

8b = 40
