Answer: a.   Consumption is increasing at a rate of 5 calories per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The scatter-plot shown includes the (blue) least-squares regression line, whose equation is y = .975 + .005x, where y is calories (in thousands) and x is years after 1960.

Here, the slope of the line = 0.05 thousand=0.005\times1000=5

We know that the slope of the line tells about the rate of change of function y with respect to x (independent variable).

Since, the slope of the given line is positive then the dependent variable increase with respect to the independent variable.

Therefore the consumption of calories is increasing at a rate of 5 calories per year.

The scatterplot shown includes the (blue) least-squares regression line, whose equation is y = .975 + .005x, where y is calories (in thousands) and x is years after 1960. Choose the correct statement.

Answer: In the given regression equation, the calories are in thousands. Therefore, the slope 0.005 (0.005 x 1000 =5 calories)  means the consumption is increasing at a rate of 5 calories per year.

Hence the option a. Consumption is increasing at a rate of 5 calories per year. is correct

15/10 to a mixed number
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
First, we have to find how many times 10 goes into 15.

We can divide 15 by 10, and we will see that 10 goes into 15 1 whole time, with 5/10 left over.

Now, we can simplify!

In order to simplify, we have to find the GCF (greatest common factor) of 5 and 10. Let's list out the factors (the numbers that can be divided into 5 and 10)

1*5

1*10
2*5

The largest factor, as we can see, is 5! Let's dicide 5/10 by 5.

5/5=1
10/5=2

So, 5/10 simplifies to 1/2, and, if we bring down the whole number we found before, 15/10 is equal to 1 and 1/2! :)

We can check this answer by multiplying the whole number, 1, by the denominator, (the bottom number of a fraction) 2, and adding the numerator, (the top number of a fraction), 1.

1*2=2
2+1=3

Keep the denominator as 2.

The improper fraction is 3/2, which is equivalent to 15/10 (multiply 3/2 by 5 to see)!

So, our answer is 1 1/2.

I hope I helped! :)
