Computing the ratio of raisins to ounces, it is found that due to the higher computed ratio, brand B advertises the greatest ratio of raisins per ounce.

---------------------------

For brand A, there are 60 raisins in the 24-ounces box, thus the ratio is of $\frac{60}{24} = 2.5$ , that is, 2.5 raisins per ounce.
For brand B, there are 18 raisins in the 6-ounce box, 36 in the 12-ounce, and it follows this ratio, thus $\frac{36}{12} = \frac{18}{6} = 3$ , thus, 3 raisins per ounce.
For brand C, there are 20 raisins in the 10-ounce box, 30 in the 15-ounce, and so on, thus $\frac{20}{10} = \frac{30}{15} = 2$ , thus, 2 raisins per ounce.
Due to the higher computed ratio, brand B advertises the greatest ratio of raisins per ounce.

Given that the points (-1, 5) and (2, 1) are vertices of a rectangle with sides parallel to the axes, how much longer is the len

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Correct choice is A

Step-by-step explanation:

Two vertices of the rectangle have coordinates A(-1, 5) and B(2, 1). If rectangle sides are parallel to the axes, then two remaining vertices have coordinates C(-1,1) and D(2,5) (see attached diagram for details).

Find the length and the width:

$AC=\sqrt{(-1-(-1))^2+(5-1)^2}=4\ units,\\ \\AD=\sqrt{(2-(-1))^2+(5-5)^2}=3\ units.$

Then the length is 1 unit longer than the width.
