Determine the unit rate for 1 bag of chips if 5 bags cost $6.25; the proportional relationship is described by 5y=$6.25x.

A. $1

B. $31.25

C. $1.25

D. $0.80

C. $1.25

Explanation: To determine the unit rate for 1 bag of chips, you need to divide the total cost by the quantity of bags. In this case, divide $6.25 by 5 bags:

$6.25 / 5 = $1.25

So, the unit rate for 1 bag of chips is $1.25.

John runs a marathon (26.2 miles) in 4 hours. Determine how many miles he runs per hour if the proportional relationship is represented by 4y=26.2x.

A. 104.8 mph

B. 0.15 mph

C. 6.55 mph

D. 7 mph

C. 6.55 mph

Explanation: To determine how many miles John runs per hour, you need to divide the total distance by the total time taken. In this case, divide 26.2 miles by 4 hours:

26.2 miles / 4 hours = 6.55 miles per hour

So, John runs at a rate of 6.55 miles per hour.

The proportional relationship 15.24 centimeters in 6 inches is represented by 6y=15.24x . Determine the number of centimeters in 1 inch.

A. 0.39 centimeters

B. 91.44 centimeters

C. 2.54 centimeters

D. 3 centimeters

C. 2.54 centimeters

Explanation: To determine the number of centimeters in 1 inch in the proportional relationship, you need to solve for x when y = 1 (since you want to find the number of centimeters in 1 inch). From the given proportional relationship:

6y = 15.24x

Solving for x when y = 1:

6(1) = 15.24x
6 = 15.24x
x = 6 / 15.24
x ≈ 0.393701

Therefore, the number of centimeters in 1 inch is approximately 2.54 centimeters.
