In each case, divide the cost by the weight to find the cost per pound.
The unit rate is dollars per pound.
Sand a: $5/(60 lb) = 0.08333 $/lb
Sand b: $12/(150 lb) = 0.08 $/lb
A. Sand a is 0.08333 $/lb
B. Sand b is $0.08 $/lb
Sand b has a lower unit rate.
Sand b is is the better value.
If you buy the same amount of sand a and sand b, you will spend less money per pound of sand by buying sand b.
Answer:
y = 0; z = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Excluded values are ones that make the fraction "undefined." That will be the case when the denominator is zero.
When y = 0, the denominator is zero.
When z = -5, the denominator is zero.
Excluded values are y = 0; z = -5.
An exponent is a quantity representing the power to which a given number or expression is to be raised, usually expressed as a raised symbol beside the number or expression (e.g. 3 in 23 = 2 × 2 × 2).
In other words, an exponent represents how many times you multiply (or divide) a value by itself.
