Answer:

$531\:\text{students}$

Step-by-step explanation:

This question implies a constant rate or proportion to estimate the number of students who may choose chocolate from a larger sample size. Therefore, we can set up the following proportion and solve:

$\frac{59}{200}=\frac{x}{1800},\\\\x=\frac{1800\cdot 59}{200},\\\\x=\boxed{531}$

Given that the line y=ax+b passes through the points A(0; 3) and B(-2;7), how do I find the values of a and b?

Andru [333]

First you have find the slope (a) in order to find the value of the y intercept (b).

To compute the slope, you simply have to find the difference of y coordinates and divide them by the difference of x coordinates:

a = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
a = (7-3)/(-2–0)
a = 4/-2
a = -2

To compute the y intercept denoted by b, we substitute the value of a with -2 in the formula and choose any point (x,y) and substitute their values in the formula as well. Like so:

I choose point A:

3 = (-2)(0) + b
3 = b

Would the scale factor 4.2 enlarge,reduce,or preserve

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's look at what scale factors would be able to enlarge, reduce, and preserve first. We will use the point (1,1) as an example.

ENLARGE

When we talk about scale factors, both of our numbers of the ordered pair will be multiplied by that number. To make it bigger, we will multiply it by anything larger than a one, we could have a scale factor such as 2, 100, 579395. etc.!

Dilation of 2

(1,1)⇒(2,2)

REDUCE

To reduce our ordered pair, our scale factor must be a number greater than zero but less than one because it cannot switch quadrants, which is what would happen if we used negative numbers. Our reduced number must be greater than zero. We can use 1/2, 1/4, 1/100, 0.67 etc.

Dilation of 1/2

(1,1)⇒(0.5,0.5)

PRESERVE

What would we multiply an ordered pair by to make it stay the same? One of course! This is the only number that will keep it the same!

Dilation of 1

(1,1)⇒(1,1)

Now, let's think of any scale factor as X and see what rules it has to follow to be enlarging, reducing, or preserving.

ENLARGING SCALE FACTOR: X>1

REDUCING SCALE FACTOR: 0<X<1

PRESERVING SCALE FACTOR: X=1

So, where does 4.2 fall? Well, as you can see, 4.2 is greater than one, so this scale factor would make our point larger.

Therefore, 4.2 would enlarge.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!

The same Honey is sold in two different size jars. Large jar= 540g for £4.10 Small jar= 360g for £2.81. By considering the amoun

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

From our calculations the large jar is the best value for money because a penny buys more honey

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>In this problem we are expected to determine which purchase of honey is the cheapest ? large jar or small jar ?.</h2><h2 />

We will determine which has the best value for money using the quantity a pound can purchase.

firstly for the large jar.

if £4.10 will purchase 540g of honey then,

£1.00 will purchase xg

cross multiplying to find x will have

$x=$ $\frac{1.00*540g}{4.10}$

$x= 131.7grams$

Hence for the large jar a penny would buy 131.7g of honey

secondly for the small jar

if £2.81 will purchase 360g of honey then,

£1.00 will purchase xg

cross multiplying to find x will have

$x=\frac{1.00*360g}{2.81}\\x= 128.1gram$

Hence for the small jar a penny would buy 128.1g of honey
