Martin uses 5/8 of a gallon of paint to cover 4/5 of a wall. What is the unit rate at which Martin paints in walls per gallon?

1 answer:

3 0

Remember, (a/b)/(c/d)=(a/b)(d/c)=(ad)/(bc)

so

walls per gallon
4/5 wall per 5/8 gallon
(4/5)/(5/8)
(4/5)(8/5)
32/25
1.28
the unit rate is 1.28 walls per gallon

Answer:

True. That is a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

A function just means that every input has only one output. The simpler way to do these is the vertical line test. Draw a vertical line anywhere on the graph and see if the vertical line is intersected in two places. If the vertical line is crossed twice, the graph isn't a function.

Answer:

B. 80

Step-by-step explanation:

3 consecutive integers: x-1 , x , x+1
