Question

At the supermarket you can fill your own honey bear container. A custoner buys 12 oz of honey for $ 5.40.

Answer 1

Total number of oz of honey = 12 oz.

Cost of 12 oz of honey  = $5.40.

Cost per oz of honey = 5.40 divided 12 = $0.45 per oz.

Therefore,

a) Cost per ounce of honey = $0.45.

b) Number of ounces we can buy for one dollar = 12 divided by 5.40 = 2.22 oz approximatly.

c)

h = 2.22c, wherr h is the number of ounces of honey for c dollars.

c=0.45h, where c is the total cost of h number of ounces of honey.

d) Let us take c=0.45h equation for graph the situation.

x-axis would be for h number of ounces of honey and y-axis is the total cost c of h ounces of honey.

Let us find some values of h and c for the graph.

For equation: c=0.45h for h=1,we get c=$0.45.

If we plug h=2, we get c= 0.45*2 = $0.90.

If we plug h=3, we get c= 0.45*3 = $1.35.

Therefore, we would plot (1,0.45), (2,0.90) and (3,1.35) on the graph and draw a straight line.

Answer 2

Answer:

A. $0.45 per ounce.

B. 2.22 ounces.

C. Equation: c = 0.45h

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that A customer buys 12 oz of honey for $ 5.40.

$12\text{ oz}=\ 5.40$               ... (1)

Part A:

Divide both sides by 12 to find the honey cost per ounce.

$\frac{12}{12}\text{ oz}=\frac{\ 5.40}{12}$

$1\text{ oz}=\ 0.45$

Therefore, the cost of honey is $0.45 per ounce.

Part B:

Divide both sides of equation (1) by 5.40 to find the amount of honey that can buy for 1 dollor.

$\frac{12}{5.40}\text{ oz}=\frac{\ 5.40}{5.40}$

$2.222..\text{ oz}=\ 1$

$\ 1=2.22\text{ oz}$

Therefore, the amount of honey that can buy for 1 dollor is about 2.22 ounces.

Part C:

Let h be the ounces of honey and c represents the cost in dollars.

The cost of honey is $0.45 per ounce. So, the cost of h ounces is

$c=0.45h$

Therefore, the required equation is c=0.45h.

Part D:

Our equation is

$c=0.45h$

Table of values:

h            c

0           0

1         0.45

2         0.90

3          1.35

4          1.80

The value of h is always non-negative because weight can not be negative.

It means x-axis represents the ounces of honey and y-axis represents its cost.
