Question

Use the information to answer the question.The graph shows the relationship between the number of pounds oforanges purchased and the total cost of the oranges.What is the cost of 1 pound of oranges? Enter the answer in the box.$4Total Cost (5)Oranges (pounds)

Answer 1

For this case we have a graph given with x representing the oranges in pounds and the y axis representing the cost in $

We want to find the cost of 1 pound of orange and for this case we need to look the intersection of the x axis at x=1 with the line provided.

We can find the unitary space of the y axis using this:

`\Delta y=(1)/(4)`

The reason is because we have 4 spaces between 0 and 1 in the y axis.

So then the answer for this case would be:

`y=1+(1)/(4)=(4+1)/(4)=(5)/(4)`

The cost of 1 pound of oranges is $5/4
