Answer:

Those that can be graphed using continuous graph are,

total cost, c, of buying g pounds of broccoli

speed of a car, s, as it accelerates over time

total distance, d, that has been driven over time, t

decrease in outside temperature, f, one evening over time, t

Explanation:

we look at these one by one,

total cost, c, of buying b cans of beans

since the cans are discrete, the graph is also discrete (not continuous)

total cost, c, of buying g pounds of broccoli

Here, the g pounds can have any value, we assume that the cost has a linear relationship to the pounds of broccoli i.e. if you buy double the broccoli you double the cost. hence this can be represented as a continuous graph.

speed of a car, s, as it accelerates over time

This is a continuous graph since speed and time are continuous

number of stamps, s, needed to mail p postcards

This is discrete since the stamps wil be discrete

total distance, d, that has been driven over time, t

This is also continuous

decrease in outside temperature, f, one evening over time, t

Temperature is also continuous over time
