A blueberry plant produces about 26 blueberries per day. If the farmer picked 472 blueberries, how many days did the plants prod
1 answer:
Answer:
About 18 days.
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem states that a blueberry plant produces about 26 blueberries per day. So, our answer will be somewhat of an estimate for the amount of days the plants produced blueberries based on the number picked. In order to solve for the number of days, we can set up equivalent ratios (fractions):
where 'd' = number of days.
We can cross-multiply and divide in order to find the amount of days:
So, d ≈ 18 days.

The graph of the linear equation y = 4x + 3 can be seen at the end of the answer.
<h3>How to find the graph of the given line?</h3>Here we have the linear equation:
y = 4x + 3.
To graph it, we need to find two points that belong to the line, to do that, we evaluate in two different values of x. I will use x = 0 and x = 2.
When x = 0.
y = 4*0 + 3 = 3
So we have the point (0, 3).
When x = 2:
y = 4*2 + 3 = 8 + 3 = 11
So we have the point (2, 11)
Now we just need to graph these two points and connect them with a line. The graph of the linear equation is the one you can see below.
