George bought 7.5 cases of pancake mix for his dinner. a case contains 12 1.3-pound boxes. how many pounds of pancake mix did george buy?

In order to get the answer to this problem, first we have to find out how many pounds does one case of pancake mix have. We know that one box has 1.3 pounds of pancake mix. We also know that one case has 12 boxes. So first, we multiply 1.3 to 12.  The answer we will get is 15.6. One case of pancake mix has a total of 15.6 pounds of pancake mix. Now we also know there are 7.5 cases that George bought. So in order to get the total pounds George bought, we multiply 15.6 to 7.5. So all in all, George bought 117 pounds of Pancake Mix. 

So first you would do 1.3 x 12 to figure out how many pounds one case is, which is 15.6

Next you would multiply 15.6 by 7.5 to find out how many pounds in total he has which is 117 pounds.

George bought 117 pounds of pancake mix (which is a lot lol)

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
