Answer:Is an estimate of the average grams of salt used in 2012

Step-by-step explanation: Let

x ---> the number of years since 2012

f(x) ---> is the total amount of salt ingested in grams

we have

This is a linear equation in slope intercept form

where

The slope is equal to

The y-intercept or initial value is equal to

The y-intercept is the value of the function f(x) when the value of x is equal to zero

In this context, the y-intercept is the average amount of grams of salt ingested in the year 2012

The exact value of the average amount of grams of salt ingested in the year 2012 is 3,554 grams (see the data in the table)

Compare the exact value with the y-intercept

therefore

3,548 grams Is an estimate of the average grams of salt used in 2012

joanna went school supply shopping she spent $35.98 on notebooks and pencils notebooks cost $2.30 each and pencils cost $1.42 ea

Mumz [18]

Joanna bought 7 notebooks and 14 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Let x denote the number of notebooks and y denote the number of pencils Joanna bought.

Cost of one notebook = $ 2.30

Cost of one pencil = $1.42

Step 2 :

Total of notebooks and pencils bought = 21

=> x + y = 21 => y = 21-x

Total cost of notebooks and pencils = $35.98

=> 2.3x + 1.42y = 35.98

Substituting y = 21- x here , we have,

2.3x + 1.42 ( 21-x) = 35.98

2.3x + 29.82 - 1.42x = 35.98

0.88 x = 6.16

=> x = 7

y = 21-x = 21-7 = 14

Step 3 :

Ruby red paint costs $0.50 per square inch. A ball is painted ruby red and costs $100.00 to paint. What is the diameter of the b

8090 [49]

The diameter can be obtained by the formula A = pi*r^2

First, multiply 0.50 * 100 to obtain the area of the ball, then simplify and solve for the radius. Doubling the radius would yield the diameter. This is shown below:

Area of the ball = 0.50 * 100 = 50 in^2
<span>A = pi*r^2
</span>50 = (3.14)*r^2
r = 3.99 = approx. 4
diameter = 2r
Diameter = 8 inches.

Among the choices, the correct answer is C. 8.0 in.
