Question

PLEASE HELP!

Use the graph to answer the questions.
(a) Write an equation to represent the cost of the strawberries.
(b) Write an equation to represent the cost of the blueberries.
(c) Which fruit is cheaper? Explain your answer.

Armand is planning a crawfish boil for the weekend. Crawfish are like tiny lobsters, about 3 to 4 in. long. They are especially popular in Louisiana. Crawfish are cooked in a pot of boiling water with spicy seasoning, called a “crawfish boil.” Every 10 lb of crawfish requires 24 oz of seasoning.

(a)  

What is the unit rate and what does this number mean?

(b)   How much seasoning would Armand need for 30 lb of crawfish? Explain or show your work.

(c)   What is the maximum number of pounds of crawfish that can be cooked with 36 oz of seasoning? Explain or show your work.

Answer 1

a) y=2x

b) y=1.5x

c) Blueberries as it cost less from the strawberries because the slope of the slope of the line is less then the strawberries

(slope is what multiplies with the x value (the horizontal line) and the y (vertical line) is what the answer is, ex: y=2x then for the input (x value) 1 then the output (y value) is 2)

Trying to explain it so you also understand the concept
