Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

cost = function of the number of half pounds you buy

Let n = number of half pounds you buy.

Let c = cost.

The cost function is

c = 5.99n

n is the independent variable. The number of half pounds you buy is any number you choose. Once you have a fixed number for n, then c depends on that number.

c is the dependent variable.

Graph the system of inequalities presented here on your own paper, then use your graph to answer the following questions:y >

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Part A: The graph of given inequality is shown below.

Part B: The point (4,6) is not a solution of given system of inequalities.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

The given inequalities are

$y>2x+3$

$y$

The related equation of given inequalities are

$y=2x+3$

$y=-\frac{3}{2}x-4$

Put x=0, to find the y-intercepts.

$y=2(0)+3=3$

$y=-\frac{3}{2}(0)-4=-4$

Put y=0, to find the x-intercepts.

$0=2x+3\Rightarrow x=-\frac{3}{2}$

$0=-\frac{3}{2}x-4\Rightarrow x=-\frac{8}{3}$

The x and y-intercepts of first line are (0,3) and (-1.5,0) respectively. The x and y-intercepts of second line are (0,-4) and (-2.667,0) respectively.

Check the given inequality by (0,0).

$0>2(0)+3$

$0>3$

This statement is false. It means (0,0) is not the solution of this inequality and the shaded region is opposite side of the origin.

$0$

This statement is false. It means (0,0) is not the solution of this inequality and the shaded region is opposite side of the origin.

The graph of given inequalities is shown below.

Part B:

We have to check whether (4,6) is a solution of the system of inequality or not.

Check the given inequality for the point (4,6).

$(6)>2(4)+3$

$6>11$

This statement is false. It means (4,6) is not the solution of given system of inequalities.

Omar has 3 1/14 cups of dough to make dumplings.If he uses 3/16 cup of dough for each dumpling,how many whole dumplings can Omar

Bumek [7]

Answer:

Omar can make 16 dumplings with some dough to spare

Step-by-step explanation:

you should convert each value to have the same denominator to make the equation easier

3 and 1/14 cups is the same as 43/14 cups of dough

so the total 43/14 needs to be divided by 3/16

43/14 divided by 3/16 = 43/14 * 16/3

=688/42 = 16.3809...

so Omar can make 16 dumplings with some dough to spare

Ali bought 2.152.15 pounds of turkey at $7.89$7.89 per pound, and 1.871.87 pounds of lamb at $7.89$7.89 per pound. Which express

Stella [2.4K]

In order to calculate the total cost of the purchase, we must first assess that there were two items bought, turkey and lamb. Next, we see multiply the cost of the first item by its quantity, so:
cost(T) = 2.15 * 7.89
cost(T) = $16.96
And repeat for the second item:
cost(L) = 1.87 * 7.89
cost (L) = $14.75

Finally, the total cost is the sum of these costs. So
Total = 16.96 + 14.75
Total = $31.71
