(2 pts)d) About how many tablespoons of sugar are in the bowl when the total weight is 600 grams?Show or explain your reasoning (3 pts)

Answer 1

weighs (empty) = 340 g

tablespoon= 12.5 g

_________________

a) Equation

T= number or tablespoon

Total weight of the bowl (W) = weight + tablespoon T

W = 340 + 12.5T

__________________________

Can you see the updates?

____________________________

b) sugar bowl (full) = 740 g

W= 740

740 = 340 + 12.5*T

740- 340 = 12.5T

400= 12.5 T

T= 400/ 12.5

T = 32

The bowl can hold 32 tablespoons of sugar

__________________________

C) represent your answer to part b

point D (T, W) = (32, 740)

______________________________

d) w= 600 ; T= ?

W = 340 + 12.5*T

w= 600

600 - 340 = 12.4 T

T= 260/ 12.5

T= 20.8

There are 20.8 tablespoons of sugar are in the bowl when the total weight is 600 grams
