The answer is b, hope I helped :)
It all depends on what you are comparing it to... if you want what fraction of a meter it is...
There are 10 decimeters per 1 meter so 1 dm is 1/10 of a meter which means 6 dm = 6 × 1/10 = 6/10 = 3/5
6 dm = 3/5 m
Ed : (0,205)(4,197)
slope(m) = (197 - 205) / (4 - 0) = -8/4 = -2
y = mx + b
slope(m) = -2
(0,205)...x = 0 and y = 205
time to sub
205 = -2(0) + b
205 = b
equation is : y = -2x + 205...so Ed loses 2 lbs per week
Eric :
y = -1.5x + 200...so Eric loses 1.5 lbs per week
when they started, Ed weighed 205 lbs and Eric weighed 200 lbs
* of the two, Eric loses fewer lbs per week. When the two began their respective weight-loss programs, Ed was heavier by 5 lbs.
15 cents for two mints gives 7.5 cents for one mint
7.5 cents is an increase of 2.5 cents from the previous price 5 cents for one mint and it is a 50% increase
