Part a: wilson bought fruit that weighs 2 and 1 over 2 pounds. how many ounces does the fruit weigh? show your work. (5 points) [16 ounces = 1 pound] part b: a running tap dispenses 0.14 gallons of water every second. how many pints of water is dispensed after 50 seconds? show your work. (5 points) [1 gallon = 4 quarts, 1 quart = 2 pints]

Part A)

Part B )

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A)

we have that

the fruit weighs pounds

convert to an improper fraction

we know that

so

by proportion

Convert pounds to ounces

Part B)

we have that

A running tap dispenses gallons of water every second

we know that

so

by proportion

Convert gallons to pints

so

A running tap dispenses pints of water every second

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?

step-by-step explanation:

divide, then simplify your answer.

1. make -15.66 ÷   5.8 a fraction. then divide.

2. simplify.  

3. final answer.
