Bob and Maria each purchase steak from the butcher. Maria selects a cut that costs $19.98 per pound. Bob’s selection costs $13.9

Sidana [21]

Answer:

Bob is paying more for the actual steak

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Maria selects a cut that costs $19.98 per pound (Maria's steak is all meat)

Bob’s selection costs $13.98 per pound (Bob’s cut of beef is 1⁄3 bone and fat)

Bob's cut is 2/3 all meat

Find the unit rate of Bob's cut for all meat

$\frac{13.98}{(2/3)} \frac{\$}{pounds} =20.97\frac{\$}{pounds}$

therefore

$\$20.97> \$19.98$

Bob is paying more for the actual steak

Item 20 A bathtub is draining at a constant rate. After 2 minutes, it holds 30 gallons of water. Three minutes later, it holds 1

levacccp [35]

Y=mx+c since its at constant rate
at (30,2)
30=m2+c-----(1)
at(12,3)
12=m3+c-----(2)
by multiplying (2)by 2.5,
30=7.5m+2.5c-----(3)
by comparing (1) and (3)
2m+c=7.5m+2.5c
5.5m+1.5c=0
5.5m=-1.5c
m=-1.5/5.5c----(4)
sub 4 into 1,
-6/11c+c=30
c=66
m=-1.5/5.5*66=-18
Equation : y=-18x+66

u can try substituting back 2min and 3 mins to verify it works
