Answer: B) 18

=========================================================

Explanation:

x = number of packs of yogurt (column 1)

y = number of ounces of yogurt (column 2)

To get the constant of proportionality k, we divide y over x

k = y/x

k = 36/2 = 18 .... from row 1

k = 54/3 = 18 ... from row 2

k = 90/5 = 18 .... from row 3

This k = 18 value means that each time x goes up by 1, the value of y goes up by 18. This is the slope of the line y = 18x, so it represents the rate of change.

Put another way: 1 pack of yogurt is 18 ounces

Julio bought 12 bulbs of jumbo garlic for $11.88. How many bulbs of jumbo garlic can Anjali buy if she has $3.96?

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Anjali can buy 4 bulbs of jumbo garlic if she has $3.96.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how many bulbs of jumbo garlic Anjali can buy with $3.96, we must first calculate the unit rate of the jumbo garlic. Julio buying 12 bulbs of jumbo garlic for $11.88 can be represented as:

$\frac{11.88}{12}$

Divide the fraction by $\frac{12}{12}$ to calculate the unit rate:

$\frac{.99cents}{1bulb}$

So if each bulb of garlic costs $0.99, which we can think of as being $1.00 at the moment, we could figure that Anjali's $3.96 would be closer to $4 than it is to $3, so let's multiply the unit rate by $\frac{4}{4}$ :
