Question

Information: Valerie is comparing the cost of block and shredded cheeses. The cost of 8 ounces of shredded cheese is $3.00.

Part A: The cost of block cheese is shown in the graph. (see image) Graph the cost of shredded cheese on the graph below.

Part B: What is the equation of the line representing the cost of the shredded cheese?

Part C: Valerie purchases 16 ounces of the less expensive cheese How much does the cheese cost?

So basically to sum this all up i need you to tell me where the dots need to go on the graph for part a, what the equation is for part b, and how much the cheese cost for part c.

THANK YOUUUU

Answer 1

Answer:

A) See explanation

B) $y=\frac{1}3x$

C) $6

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: because 8 oz of shredded cheese is $3, 1 oz of shredded cheese is $0.375, and so 3 oz of shredded cheese will be $1.125 (so $1 \frac{1}8$ on the y-axis on the graph), 6 oz will be $2.25 ($2 \frac{1}4$ on the y-axis), and $3n$ oz will be $$1.125n$.

Part B: the equation for a line is $y=mx+b$ where m is the gradient of the slope (change in y over change in x) and b is the y-axis intercept. So the equation for this line is $y=\frac{1}3x$.

Part C: Since block cheese costs $1 for 3 oz and shredded cheese costs $1.125, shredded is more expensive. 16 ounces of that will be $16*0.375=6$ dollars exactly.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part B: The cost of 8 ounces of shredded cheese is $3.00 ⇒ The cost of 1 ounce of shredded cheese is $0.375

y = 0.375 x

Part C: The cost of 20 ounces of block cheese is $6.00 ⇒ The cost of 1 ounce of block cheese is $0.3

16 oz × $0.3 = $4.80
