Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Note:
1 gal = 4 quarts
1 pint = 0.5 quart
Re-writing all the choices in dollars and quarts and calculating how much each quart costs
A) $1 per 1 quart
B) $2 per gallon = $2 per 4 quarts = $2 ÷ 4 quarts = $0.50 per quart
C) $1.50 per 2 quarts = $1.50 ÷ 2 quarts = $0.75 per quart
D) $0.50 per 1 pint = $0.50 per 0.5 quart = $0.50 ÷ 0.5 quart = $1 per quart
If you compare all of the above, it is clear that answer B ($0.50 per quart) is the cheapest rate and hence the best deal.
7:56
Figure out what 7/3 is so you can multiply 24 by that number. Is is 2 1/3 so when you multiply 2 1/3 by 24 it gets you to 56 so the proportion is 7:56
You can use two method
First method: form a triangle from x = 4 to x = 7. See vertically and horizontally (count the squares). It would be 5 and 3. Therefore 5/3 would be the slope.
Second method: use the slope formula
Determine 2 points on the graph
(4,0) and (7,5)
Formula: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(5-0)/(7-4) = 5/3
The slope is 5/3
