The correct answer is: [C]: " p = 6.25 h " . ______________________________________________________ Explanation: ______________________________________________________
It is clear that "pay" is a function of "hours worked" ;
So, we can eliminate: "Choice [B]: " h = <span>6.25p" . ______________________________________________________ Try, Choice [A]: " </span>p = h + 12.5 " ; and 14.50 ≠ 12.50 ; (12.50 is the amount shown in the table. So, we can already eliminate "Choice [A]". <span>_____________________________________________ Now that we have eliminated choices [A] and [B];
we are left with choices: [C] and [D]: _____________________________________________ Consider choice [C]: " </span><span>p = 6.25h " ; </span> when "h = 2" ; does: "p = 12.5" (as shown on table)?? ;
i.e. " 12.5 =? 6.25 * (2) ?? Yes! This choice is a POSSIBILITY. _____________________________________________ Consider choice [D]: " p = 12.5h" .
When "h = 2, does "p = 12.5" (as shown on table)? No! → We can see from this very answer choice (the equation itself) that when "h = 2" ; the value of "p" is DOUBLE [that of "12.5"]. ________________________________________________ The correct answer is: Answer choice: [C]: " <span>p = 6.25 h " . _________________________________________________</span>
There are 3 feet in a yard, so divide 34 by 3, which is 11 with a remainder of 1, the remainder 1 is the remaining foot, so 34 feet is 11 yards and 1 foot.
