Answer:

a) $0.83

b) k = 1.205

c) In the context of this problem, k means

The number of chocolate chip cookies increases as the price increases because number of chocolate chip cookie is directly proportional to its price

Step-by-step explanation:

Sara has opened her own bakery, where customers can buy three chocolate chip cookies for $2.49.

a. What is the unit price?

The unit price means the cost of 1 cookie

Hence:

3 chocolate chip cookies = $2.49

1 chocolate chip cookies = x

3x = $2.49 × 1

x = $2.49 × 1/3

x = $0.83

Hence, the unit price = $0.83

b. What is the constant of proportionality, or k?

Chocolate chip cookie ∝ Price

Chocolate chip cookie is directly proportional to the Price

C = kP

Where k is constant of proportionality

k = Chocolate chip cookie/Price

k = C/P

Hence,

k = 3/2.49

k = 1.2048192771

k = 1.205

c. In a complete sentence, explain what k means in the context of this problem.

In the context of this problem, k means

The number of chocolate chip cookies increases as the price increases because number of chocolate chip cookie is directly proportional to its price

Given: is an angle bisector of ∠JMK<br><br><br>Prove: m
astraxan [27]

Answer:

An angle bisector is a line passing through the vertex of the angle that cuts the angle into two equal smaller angles.

Given: MN is angle bisector,

then  

\angle JMN \cong \angle NMK            .......  [1]

Congruent angles are  two or more angles that have the same measure.

then;

by definition of congruent angles

[1]⇒ m\angle JMN = m\angle NMK                ......[2]

By the  Angle addition postulates states that if M is in the interior of ∠JMK then,

m\angle JMN+m\angle NMK =m\angle JMK            ......[3]

Now, by substitution property ; substitute the equation [2] in [3] we get;

m\angle JMN+m\angle JMN =m\angle JMK                 ......[4]

Like terms terms whose variables  are the same

Combine like terms in equation [4] we get

2 \cdot m\angle JMN=m\angle JMK                      ......[5]

Division property of equality states that you divide the same number to both sides of an equation.

Divide by 2 to both sides in equation [5] , we get

m\angle JMN= \frac{1}{2} m\angle JMK
