Question

Mr. Hann is trying to decide how many new copies of a book to order for his students. Each book weighs 6 ounce Which ordered pair is a viable solution if x represents the number of books he orders and y represents the total weight of the books, in ounces?

Answer 1

Only 0,0 You don't order negative numbers of books which eliminates the first two pairs. And you don't order 1/2 a book which eliminates the last pair.

Explanation:

If you order 0 shirts they will weight 0 ounces is the only viable solution.

Answer 2

Ordered Pair (1,6) (2,12) (3,18).......

y=6x

Explanation:

Here we are given that the wight of each book is 6 ounces . If there are x number of books , the weight of x books will be 6 times x .

And if y represent the total weight , we can form an equation describing relation between number of books and their net weight . The equation can be

y=6x

Hence all the ordered pair satisfying above equation will represents the number of books and the total weight.
