-1.5 ------ f(x) = 3(-1.5) - 5
= -4.5 -5
= 9.5
2 -------- f(x) = 3(2) - 5
= 6 -5
= 1
4 -------- f(x) = 3(4) - 5
= 12 - 5
= 7
(9.5, 1 , 7)
How many three-fourths are in 2? 2 complete sets of three-fourths can be made and 2 of the 3 pieces need to make \frac34 are left over, so we have another \frac23 of a three-fourths. and we can see that there are 2 wholes with 4 fourths in each whole, so there are 2\times 4 fourths in 2.
2 3/4 + 1 5/8 + 1 5/8 =
2 + 1 + 1 = 4 (add the whole numbers)
3/4 + 5/8 + 5/8 = 6/8 + 5/8 + 5/8 = 16/8 = 2 (add the fractions)
4 + 2 = 6 total lbs
5.40 for 6 lbs = 5.40/6 = 0.90 (so the apples cost 90 cents per lb)
