Soft Drinks

Orange

Two 24-packs for $15; one 24-pack for $9

Root Beer

One 24-pack for $14

Cream Soda

One 12-pack for $3

A consumer needs to purchase at least 50 soft drinks for a picnic. Which of the following combinations is the most cost-effective?

Given the equation F(z)=9z+28

To find the value of F(z), we need to vary the value of z. In this case, z is the independent variable while F(z) is what we measure, which is the dependent variable.

To find the cheapest option, we find the expenditure on each given option.:

2 two-24 packs of Orange and 1 pack of Cream Soda=2($15)+$3=$33

3 one 24-pack of Orange=3($9)=$27

2 packs of Root Beer and 1 pack of Cream Soda=2($14)+$3=$31

5 packs of cream Soda=5($3)=$15

Spending 5 packs of cream soda is the cost-effective option.

The weight of the knife could be appropriately expressed in grams. Since a knife is a small object, we do not expect to measure its weight in kilograms. Liter and milliliter are units of measuring the volume of objects.

we convert the given value in yards to the cm by setting up the equation below.

2 yards is equal to 182.88 cm, which is approximately 180 cm.

The scatter plot showing the relationship between the number of absences in a semester and students’ final exam scores. The trend shows that as absences increase, exam scores decrease.

This represents a Negative Correlation because:

• When one variable (absences) increases, the other variable (exam score) decreases.
• The points on the scatter plot trend downward from left to right.

A dependent variable changes with any change made in an independent variable. From this case, cost of meals depends on other three options. In other words, the quantity of meal, number of toppings, and types of spices influence the cost of the meal.

To find the required number of cups milk needed, we set a proportion equation with number of cups be numerator and cups of milk as denominator.

Let x be the number of cups of milk needed, then

The numbers of cups of milk required is 273/25, which when converted to mixed fraction becomes 10 23/25.

The median of a data set is determined by arranging the numbers in ascending orders, and the median is the number the falls in the middle position.

-7, -4, 1, 3, 9

There are five numbers in the data set, and the median falls in the third position from either side. Thus, 1 fall in the third position.

A histogram depicts the frequency of a one variable over the other while a bar graph is used to compare two variables with vertical axis representing the heights. Therefore, a histogram will be used to represent percent of the number of students reading after 9.

 we use the relation 1 L=1000 mL to convert 3.9 L to mL as follows.

Thus, 3.9 L is 3900 mL.
