So you know that a pound of rice crackers cost $2.88. You also know that Matthew bought 1/4 or 25% or 0.25 of a pound. This means that by multiplying 0.25 by $2.88, you can determine the cost.
0.25 x 2.88 = $0.72
Therefore, Matthew paid 72 cents or $0.72 for 1/4 pound of rice crackers
The correct answer is 14.2 lb which is choice D.
Let:
F = minimum force required to prevent ball from rolling down the ramp
The formula will be:
F = w * sin theta
F = w * sin (39 degrees)
F = 22.6 * sin (39)
= 14.2 lb (this is rounded to the nearest tenth)
The tangents are equal length, so
.. 8x = x^2
We presume their length is not zero, so we can divide by x to get
.. 8 = 2x
.. 4 = x
Then the length of each tangent is 8*4 = 32 units.
4x (4 peaches) = 4y (4.96$)
x (4/4 peaches=1) = y (4.96$ / 4 = 1.24$)
y f(x) = 1.24$
