Answer:

p=0.60w

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

p ----> the price of a watermelon in dollars

w ---> the weight of a watermelon in pounds

In this problem we have a proportional relationship

Remember that

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

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

In this problem

p=kw

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

Find out the unit rate

Divide the total cost by the total weight

k=\frac{4.38}{7.3}=\$0.60\ per\ pound

substitute in the equation

p=0.60w

What is the value of the problem below?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term  = 6* 2^0 =  6

The second term = 6 * 2^ (2-1) = 6*2 = 12

The third term = 6* 2^(3-1) = 6*2^2 = 6*4 = 24

The fourth term = 6* 2^(4-1) = 6* 2^3 = 6*8 = 48

S4  is the sum of the 1st four terms

S4 = 6+ 12+24+ 48 = 90
