Because you multiply 9 by 36
bearing in mind that the average rate of change = slope, and for that we can simply use two points off the table.

Answer:
126 apples
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of apples picked by Mary=m
Cindy picks 6 times as many as Mary= 6Xm=6m
John picks 8 times as many as Mary= 8Xm=8m
Altogether they picked a total of 135 apples.
m+6m+8m=135
15m=135
m=135/15
m=9
We want to determine how many apples John and Cindy Picked.
John Picked 6m apples
Cindy Picked 8m apples
Their combined total= 6m+8m =14m
Since m=9
14m =14 X9 =126 apples
John and Cindy picked a total of 126 apples
There were 340,000 cattle placed on feed
How many of the 340,000 cattle placed on feed were between 700 and 799 pounds?
Given the fraction of total cattle for 700 - 799 pounds is 2/5
Let x be the number of cattle between 700 - 799 pounds
We make a proportion using the fraction

Cross multiply it and solve for x
340000* 2 = 5x
680000 = 5x
Divide by 5 on both sides
So x= 136,000
There were 136,000 cattle between 700 and 799 pounds
