Homeowners in the united states use more than 15 million pounds of pesticides on their lawns every year. convert this rate to ounces per day, rounded to the nearest whole number.

rate = 657534 ounces per day

Step-by-step explanation:

15 million pounds of pesticides per year is used by homeowner in the united States on their Lawns

Convert the amount in pounds to ounces to get the amount used in ounces.

1 pound = 16 ounces

15,000,000 pounds = ?

cross multiply

15,000,000 × 16 = 240,000,000 ounces

The amount used per year in ounces is 240 millions .

The amount use in a day can be gotten by dividing the amount use per year by 365 days.

1 year = 365 days

so,

rate = 240,000,000/365

rate = 657534.246575

To the nearest whole number

rate = 657534 ounces per day

explanation

the graph has a slope of 1/3 because each time you move up 1, you go to the right 3. so, slope = rise/run = 1/3. we can cross choice a off the list since we want a slope of 3, rather than 1/3.

the first table shown has a slope of -3. this is because the rise is -6 and the run is 2, so slope = rise/run = -6/2 = -3. note how x increases by 2 each time (run) and y drops by 6 each time (rise). choice b can be eliminated.

the second table has a slope of 3. each time x goes up by 1, the y values increase by 3. slope = rise/run = 3/1 = 3. alternatively you can use the slope formula to prove that the slope is 3 here. use any two rows of values to generate the two points. choice c is one of the answers

the third table also has a slope of 3. let's use the slope formula to prove as such. i'm going to use the first two rows of the table. so i'll use the two points (2,1) and (5,10)

m = slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (10-1)/(5-2)

m = 9/3

m = 3 so we get a slope of 3

choice d is the other answer
