Answer:

Noah: 3 cups
Lin: 4 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

When the 12-cup bag of sugar is divided evenly, each baker gets 6 cups.

There is no dot on Noah"s graph for 6 cups of sugar, so you have to extrapolate the given set of dots to see where it might be. You notice that each dot is 1/2 cup of flour more than the one to its left, so you expect that Noah will use 3 cups of flour for 6 cups of sugar.

Similarly, the table for Lin does not have an entry for 6 cups of sugar. Again, the next entry can be figured using the relations between previous entries. Here, each row for sugar goes up by 1 1/2 cups, so the next row would be 4 1/2 + 1 1/2 = 6 cups. And the rows for flour go up by 1 cup, so the next row for flour (for 6 cups of sugar) would be 4 cups of flour.

Lin will use 4 cups of flour for 6 cups of sugar.

Alternate solution

The relationship are proportional in both cases, so you can read the value for a smaller amount (2 cups or 3 cups of sugar), then multiply the value by an appropriate multiplier (3 or 2) to get the number of cups of flour for 6 cups of sugar.

Noah: 1 flour for 2 sugar ⇒ 3 flour for 6 sugar

Lin: 2 flour for 3 sugar ⇒ 4 flour for 6 sugar

On a separate piece of graph paper, graph y = -|x| + 1; then click on the graph until the correct one appears.

|x| is tricky but maybe I can tell you so that it's clear 4ever.

You have to look at when what's inside the absolute value iszero. In this case x=0. That easy. Then, you have to split the cases:

For x>= 0, you have y = -x+1,

For x<=0, you have y = -(-x) + 1 = x+1, because abs(x)=-x, if x<=0.

Notice that x=0 is included in either case, because |x| is continuous.

Then plot each line choosing a couple of points, notice that for one case you should choose x=-1, -2, or x=0, but not positive values, and the other way for the case with x>=0.

KiRa [710]

Answer:

Part A: (1/2)m

Part B: (1/3rd)b and 3mx

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of each baseball is=$m

Price of other equipment are=$b collectively

Total amount He spent on purchasing equipment is =(m+b)$

Part A:

in part A the amount on purchasing other equipment than baseball is getting doubled i.e. $2b  then value of m will be (1/2)half of the total amount spent on purchasing baseball i.e. (1/2)m

Part B:

in part B the amount spent on purchasing baseball is getting tripled i.e. 3m, then value of b(amount of purchasing other equipment) is (1/3rd) of total amount spent on purchasing other equipment and value of mx will be 3mx
