4. B.
5. c.
6. c
7. a
8. b
9.b
I am not so sure but I need to get this done quickly
1 and 2 are b and c
Alright, let's focus on questions 1 and 2.
1. The constant of proportionality is found by comparing the ratios of y to x. Let me calculate that for you.
For x = 24, y = 3
The ratio y/x = 3/24 = 1/8
For x = 32, y = 4
The ratio y/x = 4/32 = 1/8
For x = 40, y = 5
The ratio y/x = 5/40 = 1/8
So, we can see that the constant of proportionality for this table is 1/8. Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
2. The question asks for the unit rate for each type of apple. Let's analyze it carefully.
You buy 3 lbs of organic apples for $7.50. To find the unit rate for organic apples, we need to divide the total cost by the number of pounds.
Unit rate for organic apples = $7.50 / 3 lbs = $2.50/lb
The graph shows the price for regular apples, so we need to find the unit rate for that as well. Looking at the options, the correct answer seems to be option B.
Therefore, the correct answer for question 2 is option B, which states: "organic 2.50/lb; regular 3.00 lb".
Great job on the rest of the quiz! Let me know if you need help with anything else.
To solve the systems of equations quiz step-by-step, let's tackle each question one at a time:
1. To find the constant of proportionality, we can use the formula y = kx, where k represents the constant of proportionality. From the given table, we can see that when x = 24, y = 3. So we can substitute these values into the equation: 3 = k * 24. Now we can solve for k:
3 = 24k
k = 3/24
k = 1/8
Therefore, the answer is B. 1/8.
2. To find the unit rate for each type of apple, we need to divide the price by the weight. From the graph, we can see that 3 lbs of regular apples cost $9. So the unit rate for regular apples is:
$9 / 3 lbs = $3/lb
And since you bought 3 lbs of organic apples for $7.50, the unit rate for organic apples is:
$7.50 / 3 lbs = $2.50/lb
Therefore, the answer is A. organic 2.50/lb; regular 3.00 lb.
The remaining questions have not been provided with enough information, so further analysis is necessary to answer those correctly.
To solve the first question, you need to determine the relationship between the x-values and the y-values in the table. From the given values, it appears that as x increases by 8 (from 24 to 32, and then from 32 to 40), y increases by 1 (from 3 to 4, and then from 4 to 5).
To find the constant of proportionality, you can pick any pair of x and y values and calculate the ratio between them. Let's consider the first pair (24, 3):
Constant of proportionality = y / x = 3 / 24 = 1/8
Hence, the constant of proportionality for the given table is 1/8. Therefore, the correct answer for the first question is option B.
Now, let's move on to the second question. To find the unit rate for each type of apple, you need to identify the price per pound for each type. From the graph, it is given that 3 lbs of regular apples cost $7.50.
Unit rate for regular apples = Total cost / Total weight = $7.50 / 3 lbs = $2.50/lb
Now, you need to determine the unit rate for organic apples. Since the graph only shows the price for regular apples, you need to use the information given in the answer choices. According to option B, the unit rate for organic apples is 0.40 lb, and for regular apples, it is 0.50 lb.
Hence, the correct answer for the second question is option B.
For the remaining questions, you have already provided your answers. If you have any doubts about them, feel free to ask for further explanation.
