Answer:
We call the denominator rational.
Step-by-step explanation:
For example:
It's clear that the denominator is now a rational number, not an irrational one anymore.
Answer:
its a function
slope form:y+5=-1.18·(x-3)
(-2.5,1.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A) 5x = 3(x - 2.5)
-----------------------
B)
Distribute
5x = 3x - 7.5
Subtract 3x from both sides
2x = -7.5
Divde both sides by 2
x = -3.75
-----------------------
C)
5 * (-3.75) = 3(-3.75 - 2.5)
-18.75 = -18.75
D)
Tanya paid –$3.75 for each of 5 items
Tony paid –$6.25 for each of 3 items
There seems to be an error in the question since the cost of items is negative
Tony bought fewer items and paid less for each.
Preston have to get some correct and some incorrect answers.
Answer:
a. $0.47 per ounce
b. $0.36 per ounce
c. the gallon size costs less per ounce
Step-by-step explanation:
A unit rate is a rate that is expressed with one unit in the denominator. That is, it is <some amount> per unit. The <some amount> value will generally depend on what unit is chosen. This problem suggests the desired unit is 1 oz of paint.
__
<h3>a.</h3>
Unit cost for a quart:
ratio = cost/ounces = $14.99/(32 oz) ≈ $0.468/oz ≈ $0.47/oz
__
<h3>b.</h3>
Unit cost for a gallon:
ratio = cost/ounces = $45.99/(120 oz) ≈ $0.359/oz ≈ $0.36/oz
__
<h3>c.</h3>
The cost per ounce is less for the gallon size. If at least 3 quarts of paint is needed, then buying it in the gallon size will cost less.
If less than 3 quarts are needed, then a gallon container will cost more than is necessary for the paint required. The "better deal" depends on the amount of paint required.
