Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the cost per bar for each candy bar, we need to divide the cost by the quantity for each candy bar.

For Candy Bar 1:
Cost per bar = Cost / Quantity
For 1 candy bar, cost per bar = 1.25 / 1 = 1.25
For 2 candy bars, cost per bar = 2.50 / 2 = 1.25
For 3 candy bars, cost per bar = 3.75 / 3 = 1.25
For 4 candy bars, cost per bar = 5.00 / 4 = 1.25
For 5 candy bars, cost per bar = 6.25 / 5 = 1.25

For Candy Bar 2:
Cost per bar = Cost / Quantity
For any number of candy bars, the cost per bar will always be the same as the quantity, according to the equation y = x.

Therefore, both Candy Bar 1 and Candy Bar 2 have the same cost per bar, which is 1.25.

Apologies for the confusion. Let's calculate the cost per bar for each candy bar correctly.

For Candy Bar 1:
Cost per bar = Cost / Quantity
For 1 candy bar, cost per bar = 1.25 / 1 = 1.25
For 2 candy bars, cost per bar = 2.50 / 2 = 1.25
For 3 candy bars, cost per bar = 3.75 / 3 = 1.25
For 4 candy bars, cost per bar = 5.00 / 4 = 1.25
For 5 candy bars, cost per bar = 6.25 / 5 = 1.25

For Candy Bar 2:
Since the proportional relationship between the cost and quantity for Candy Bar 2 is represented by the equation y = x, the cost per bar for Candy Bar 2 will also be the same as the quantity.

Therefore, the correct answer is:
Candy Bar 1 has a cost per bar of 1.25, while we don't have enough information to determine the cost per bar for Candy Bar 2.

Answer 4

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To find the cheapest cost per bar, we need to compare the cost per bar for each candy bar.

For Candy Bar 1:
The cost of Candy Bar 1 is given in the table:
- For a quantity of 1, the cost is $1.25
- For a quantity of 2, the cost is $2.50
- For a quantity of 3, the cost is $3.75
- For a quantity of 4, the cost is $5.00
- For a quantity of 5, the cost is $6.25

To find the cost per bar, we divide the cost by the quantity:
- For a quantity of 1, the cost per bar is $1.25 / 1 = $1.25
- For a quantity of 2, the cost per bar is $2.50 / 2 = $1.25
- For a quantity of 3, the cost per bar is $3.75 / 3 = $1.25
- For a quantity of 4, the cost per bar is $5.00 / 4 = $1.25
- For a quantity of 5, the cost per bar is $6.25 / 5 = $1.25

As we can see, the cost per bar for Candy Bar 1 is consistently $1.25.

Now, let's analyze Candy Bar 2:
The equation y = x represents a proportional relationship, which means the cost per bar remains constant regardless of the quantity. Since Candy Bar 2 follows this equation, its cost per bar is also $1.25.

Therefore, both Candy Bar 1 and Candy Bar 2 have the same cheapest cost per bar of $1.25.
