Hello!
First you have to find what the temperature was at the 3 stages
It started at 87
Then went down 10
87 - 10 = 77
Then up 17
77 + 17 = 94
Then you take the difference from the current temperature from the lowest temperature
94 - 77 = 17
The answer is D
Hope this helps!
A) The variable on the horizontal axis of the graph (the independent variable) is "pounds of rice". That is what the first number in the ordered pair (6, 18) represents.
The variable on the vertical axis of the graph (the dependent variable) is "total cost in dollars". That is what the second number in the ordered pair represents.
(6, 18) represents that the total cost of purchasing 6 lbs of rice is $18.
B) The unit price is found at the point where the independent variable has the value 1. That would be at the point (1, 3), which indicates the unit price is $3 per pound.
C) You would have to buy 4 lbs of rice for the total cost to be $12. There are at least two ways to find the answer.
- Draw a horizontal line on the graph at cost = $12. It intersects the graph at lbs = 4.
- Divide the total cost by the unit price. $12/($3/lb) = 4 lb.
Lets plug in the answer choices and see which one works
A. x = -6
| -6 | < 3
6 < 3
False, so A is not the answer
B. x = -5
| -5 | < 3
5 < 3
False, so B isn't the answer
C. x = -1
| -1 | < 3
1 < 3
True, so C is the answer.
But lets just check D to make sure C is the answer.
D. x = 2
| 2 | < 3
2 < 3
False, so D isn't the answer either.
C is your answer :)
Step-by-step explanation:
1 hour 50 minutes = 110 mins
1 1/2 hours = 90 mins
add all these:
110
90
85
55
35
when you add all these you get 375
every hour has 60 minutes
375 ÷ 60 = 6.15
if he starts at 9 am and he cleans for 6.15 hours he will be finished by 3:15pm.
