The earnings for Employee 1 and Employee 2 are displayed in the following graphs. Which employee earns more per hour?
Employee one chart:
hours: 0,2,4,6,8
earnings: 25, 50, 75
Employee two chart:
hours: 1,2,3,4,5,6
earnings: 15, 45, 75
To calculate the earnings per hour for each employee, we can divide the total earnings by the total number of hours worked.
For Employee 1:
Total earnings = $75
Total hours worked = 8 hours
Earnings per hour = $75 / 8 hours = $9.375 per hour
For Employee 2:
Total earnings = $75
Total hours worked = 6 hours
Earnings per hour = $75 / 6 hours = $12.5 per hour
Therefore, Employee 2 earns more per hour with $12.5 compared to Employee 1 with $9.375.
Use similiar triangles to determine the slope of the line
Cordinates: (0,0), (1,3), (2,6), (3,9)
1, 3, 2, 6,
To determine the slope of the line passing through the points (0,0), (1,3), (2,6), and (3,9), we need to calculate the rise over run using any pair of consecutive points.
Let's take the points (1,3) and (2,6):
Point 1: (1,3)
Point 2: (2,6)
Rise = Change in y = 6 - 3 = 3
Run = Change in x = 2 - 1 = 1
Slope = Rise/Run = 3/1 = 3
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the given points is equal to 3.
The cost of Candy Bar A is displayed in the table. The proportional relationship between the cost and quantity for Candy Bar B is represented by the equation y=x . Which candy bar is the cheapest cost per bar? Enter 1 for Candy Bar A. Enter 2 for Candy Bar B.
Cost of candy bar A:
quantity: 1,2,3,4,5
cost ($): 1.25, 2.50, 3.75, 5.00, 6.25
To determine which candy bar is the cheapest cost per bar, we need to calculate the cost per bar for both Candy Bar A and Candy Bar B.
For Candy Bar A:
Quantity: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Cost: $1.25, $2.50, $3.75, $5.00, $6.25
Cost per bar for Candy Bar A:
1 bar: $1.25
2 bars: $2.50 / 2 = $1.25
3 bars: $3.75 / 3 ≈ $1.25
4 bars: $5.00 / 4 = $1.25
5 bars: $6.25 / 5 = $1.25
For Candy Bar B:
The equation y = x represents the cost per bar for Candy Bar B. In this case, the cost per bar for Candy Bar B is directly proportional to the quantity.
Since the cost per bar for both Candy Bar A and Candy Bar B is $1.25 per bar, they have the same cost per bar. Therefore, both Candy Bar A and Candy Bar B have the same cheapest cost per bar. Enter 1 for Candy Bar A. Enter 2 for Candy Bar B.
