We are given that we have $25 to pay for 6 fishing lures.

We can make an equality for this as follows:

Suppose price of one fishing lure is x dollars.

So we will use unitary method to find price of 6 fishing lures.

Price of 6 fishing lures = 6 * ( price of one fishing lure) = 6* x = 6x

Now we only have 25 dollars with us, so the price of 6 fishing lures has to be less than or equal to 25 dollars.

So creating an inequality,

$6x\leq25$

Now in order to find price for one fishing lure, we have to solve this for x.

Dividing both sides by 6 we have,

$x\leq\frac{25}{6}$

Converting to decimal,

$x\leq4.167$

Answer : The price of one fishing lure must be less than or equal to $4.167

Flura [38]

Answer: Jack can fill his feeder 12 times with 4 pounds of birdseed.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to analize the information given in the exercise, You know that every time Jack fills the feeder, he put $\frac{1}{3}$ pounds into it.

Then, in order to solve this exercise, let "x" represents the number of times that Jack can fill his feeder with 4 pounds of birdseed.

Keeping on mind the data provided in the exercise, you can set up de following proportion:

$\frac{1}{\frac{1}{3}} = \frac{x}{4}$

Finally, you must solve for "x" in order to find its value.

You get that this is:

$3= \frac{x}{4}\\\\(3)(4)=x\\\\x=12$

Therefore, you can conclude that Jack can fill his feeder 12 times with 4 pounds of birdseed.

BigorU [14]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

She can determine that while there is an association between the variables, there is no correlation, and she cannot determine causation.

Explanation:

Since there is an arch shape to her graph, we know that as one variable changes, the other changes in the same manner. This means there is an association between the variables.

However, since the graph is not linear, there is no correlation between the variables. Since there is no correlation, we cannot determine causation.
