Answer:
z / 7
Step-by-step explanation:
C = O / H
O = z
H = 7
The common denominator is already there 12 is the common denominator!! :)
The unit rate is going to be calories per serving....calories / serving
Food A :
150 / (3/4) =
150 * 4/3 =
600/3 =
200 calories per serving
Food B :
250 / (2/3) =
250 * 3/2 =
750/2 =
375 calories per serving
Therefore, Food A has fewer calories per serving <==
Assume that the rule connecting height of the candle to time is a linear one. If you do, then we have to find the equation of this line, and then use this equation to predict the height of the candle after 11 hours.
Two points on this line are (6,17.4) and (23, 7.2). The slope is thus
7.2-17.4 -6
m = --------------- = ----------- or -3/5.
23-6 10
Find the equation of the line. I'm going to use the slope-intercept formula:
y = mx + b => 7.2 = (-3/5)(23) + b. Solving for b, b = 21.
Now we know that y = (-3/5)x + 21
Let x=11 to predict the height of the candle at that time.
y = (-3/5)(11) + 21 = 14.4 inches (answer)
