Answer: First option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pieces of candy = 252

Number of ounces jar is it = 14

We need to find the number of pieces of candy should be there in the jar per ounce.

So, it becomes

Number of pieces of candy per ounce is given by

$\dfrac{\text{Number of pieces of candy}}{\text{Quantity of jar}}\\\\=\dfrac{252}{14}\\\\=18$

Hence, there are 18 pieces of candy per ounce in the jar.

Therefore, First option is correct.

"Per" essentially means "divided by." To find pieces per ounce, divide pieces by ounces.

(252 pieces)/(14 ounces) = (252/14) pieces/ounce = 18 pieces/ounce

The ice skating rink charges an hourly fee for skating and 3$ to rent skates for the day. Gillian rented skates and skated for 2

o-na [289]

It starts with a $3 dollar charge. If he was charged 21, that means that 18 of those dollars were from the time he spent there. That means that it is $9 per hour and none of the answers upthere are correct

It should be c(x)=9(x)+3

An artist can paint 4 painting in 2 hours. What is the artist’s unit rate?

dolphi86 [110]

All we have to do here is divide 4 by 2

4 ÷ 2 = 2

Therefore, the artist can paint 2 paintings an hour making the unit rate, 2 paintings per hour.

Hope this helps

Answer:

the answer would be 90

Step-by-step explanation:

100 giants fills 5/8 (100/160) of the theater leaving 3/8 of the theater for the elves.

3/8 times 240 elves is 90 elves.

If there were 150 elves that would also be 5/8 filled plus the original 5/8 filled with 100 giants! Some elves might suffer!!!

Which function has a range of y < 3?

Setler79 [48]

Using a graphing tool

Let's graph each of the cases to determine the solution of the problem

case A) $y=3(2^{x})$

see the attached figure N $1$

The range is the interval--------> (0,∞)

$y> 0$

therefore

the function $y=3(2^{x})$ is not the solution

case B) $y=2(3^{x})$

see the attached figure N $2$

The range is the interval--------> (0,∞)

$y> 0$

therefore

the function $y=2(3^{x})$ is not the solution

case C) $y=-2^{x}+3$

see the attached figure N $3$

The range is the interval--------> (-∞,3)

$y< 3$

therefore

the function $y=-2^{x}+3$ is the solution

case D) $y=2^{x}-3$

see the attached figure N $4$

The range is the interval--------> (-3,∞)

$y>-3$

therefore

the function $y=2^{x}-3$ is not the solution

the answer is

$y=-2^{x}+3$
