Answer:

0.75 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, this one is more simple. To find the weight of each book, You have to solve this division problem:

15/20

If you divided it the other way around, you would be saying each book weighed 1.33 pounds. That wouldn't be correct because then you would have over 20 lbs. of books, when you only have 15.

So, the answer is 0.75 pounds.

Emery bought 3 cans of beans that had a total weight of 2.4 pounds. If each can of beans weighed the same amount, which model co
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

  • y=0.8x
  • See Explanation for others

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 cans of beans had a total weight of 2.4 Pounds

Therefore:

  • 1 can of beans = (2.4 ÷ 3) =0.8 Pounds

The following applies from the options.

  • y=0.8x where y is the weight and x is the number of cans.
  • A 2-column table with 3 rows. Column 1 is labeled number of cans with entries 5, 15, 20. Column 2 is labeled total weight (in pounds) with entries 4, 12, 16.

Using y=0.8x

When x=5, y=0.8 X 5=4

When x=15, y=0.8 X 15=12

When x=20, y=0.8 X 20=16

\left|\begin{array}{c|c}\text{Number of Cans,x}&\text{Total Weight (in Pounds),y}\\-------&--------\\5&4\\15&12\\20&16\end{array}\right|

  • On a coordinate plane, the x-axis is labeled number of cans and the y-axis is labeled total weight (in pounds. A line goes through points (5, 4) and (15, 12). This can be clearly seen from the table above as (5,4) and (15,12) are points on the line.
