Answers:
- Choice B) y = (1/4)x
- The unit rate is <u> 3.89 </u> dollars per pound. It costs <u> 23.34 </u> dollars for a turkey that weighs 6 pounds.
=====================================================
Explanations:
- Direct proportional equations are always in the form y = kx, where k is some constant. In the case of choice B, we have k = 1/4. Visually, direct proportion equations are always straight lines and go through the origin.
- Divide $34.99 over 9 to get 34.99/9 = 3.88777 approximately. This rounds to 3.89, so it costs $3.89 per pound. That's the unit rate. Multiply this by 6 to get 6*3.89 = 23.34 which is the cost of the 6 pound turkey.
<h3>5/6 × 3/10</h3>
<em>Multiply 5/6 by 3/10 (to do this,</em><em> multiply the numerator by the numerator </em><em>and the </em><em>denominator by the denominator).</em>
<h3>5 × 3/6 × 10</h3>
<em>Perform the</em><em> multiplications </em><em>in the </em><em>previous fraction.</em>
<h3>15/60</h3>
<em>Reduce the fraction </em><em>15/60</em><em> to its</em><em> lowest expression by extracting</em><em> and canceling 15.</em>
<h3>1/4 ≈ 0.25</h3>
