Answer:
Cory bought 6.47 gallons
rate of change is $2.78 per gallon
Step-by-step explanation:
cost of gas per gallon = $2.78
it means that if one buy 1 gallon he will have to pay $2.78 and similary for each increase in 1 gallon of gallon gas he will have to pay $2.78.
Thus, rate of change is cost of gas per gallon as cost to buy gas changes with the change in quantity of gallon.
Let the quantity of gas bought be x gallon.
Total cost for x gallons = cost of gas per gallon*x = 2.78x
Given that total money paid by him is $18
2.78x = 18
x = 18/2.78 = 6.47
Thus, Cory bought 6.47 gallons
rate of change is $2.78 per gallon
Start by proving to them that the number 0.57 can be converted into a fraction . A whole number can't exactly be put in to a fraction. 0.57 can be converted to 14.25/25. This information means that 0.57 IS a rational number. Hope this convinced them!
So if m=4a+2c is your equation then all you have to do is plug in the numbers.
So you then get m=4(25)+2(7), for 25 adults and 7 children.
Then you solve. m=100+2(7)
m=100+14
m=114
So Frank will need 114 Meatballs for the party of 25 adults and 7 children
Hope this helps! And if you need anything else just ask :)
Rational number: Whole number isn't likely, negative integer isn't change, rational number is most likely, irrational number is not possible for cash change.
