Let's say you had two boxes of cereal labeled A and B. Also let's come up with a hypothetical situation that...

  • box A costs $2 and weighs 10 ounces
  • box B costs $3 and weighs 20 ounces

The question is: which is the better deal? By that I mean which is cheaper per ounce.

-----------------------

For box A, we have this ratio

2 dollars : 10 ounces

If we divide both sides by 10, then we end up with

2/10 dollars : 10/10 ounces

0.20 dollars : 1 ounce

20 cents : 1 ounce

This tells us that the unit rate for box A is 20 cents per ounce. In other words, 1 ounce costs 20 cents or each ounce costs 20 cents.

-----------------------

Do a similar thing for box B

3 dollars : 20 ounces

3/20 dollars : 20/20 ounces

0.15 dollars : 1 ounce

15 cents : 1 ounce

So box B costs 15 cents per ounce

-----------------------

In summary,

Box A's unit rate is 20 cents per ounce

Box B's unit rate is 15 cents per ounce

Box B is the better deal since it's 5 cents cheaper per ounce.

△QRS is rotated about point P to △Q′R′S′ . Which statements are true about the pre-image and image?
yuradex [85]

Note that rotation will not affect the shape and size of an object.

Rotation with respect to a point preserves the corresponding sides and the corresponding angles of the original image.

Hence, the statements

The corresponding angle measurements in each triangle between the pre-image and the image are preserved and

The corresponding lengths, from the point of rotation, between the pre-image and the image are preserved

are true.

Da<br> A<br> Solve the equation 2x^2+3=0
Anika [276]

Answer:

x = ±i(√6 / 2)

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Equality Properties

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Solving quadratics

<u>Algebra II</u>

Imaginary root i

  • √-1 = i

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

2x² + 3 = 0

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 3 on both sides:                        2x² = -3
  2. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 2 on both sides:                                  x² = -3/2
  3. [Equality Property] Square root both sides:                                                    x = ±√(-3/2)
  4. Simplify:                                                                                                             x = ±i(√6 / 2)
