Answer:
The constant of proportionality gives you the price per unit at each store.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you assume that the price (y) is directly proportional to the amount (x) you get, the formula is
y = kx
where k is the constant of proportionality.
k = y/x
k has the units of cost per unit, for example, dollars per ounce.
The fewer the dollars per ounce, the better the deal you are getting.
If store A offers apple sauce at $1.29 for 25 oz and Store B offers apple sauce at $2.89 for 50 oz, which is the better deal?
At store A, k = $1.29/25 oz = $0.052/oz or 5.2¢/oz
At store B, k = $2.89/50 oz = $0.058/oz or 5.8¢/oz
The apple sauce is cheaper at Store A.
<span>Prime is the best option describes the number 5.The number 5 is a prime because prime can be divided evenly by 1, or itself. And it must be a whole number greater than 1.But 6 can be divided evenly by 1, 2, 3 and 6 so it is NOT a prime number (it is a composite number).</span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Two whole numbers will end up like this: 8x8=64,but multiplying a whole and a decimal will end up like this 8x8.1=64.1
or 8x8=8 to the second power.
this should be sufficient information.
Answer:
M (-3, -5/2)
N (3, -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the first equation for x.
4y = x − 7
x = 4y + 7
Substitute into the second equation.
x² + xy = 4 + 2y²
(4y + 7)² + (4y + 7)y = 4 + 2y²
Simplify.
16y² + 56y + 49 + 4y² + 7y = 4 + 2y²
18y² + 63y + 45 = 0
2y² + 7y + 5 = 0
Factor.
(y + 1) (2y + 5) = 0
y = -1 or -5/2
Plug back into the first equation to find x.
x = 4(-1) + 7 = 3
x = 4(-5/2) + 7 = -3
M (-3, -5/2)
N (3, -1)
