A group of friends is sharing 4 1/2, pounds of Halloween candy. A if each friend received 3/4 of a pound of candy, how many friends are sharing the candy? B. If 9 friends are sharing the candy, how many pounds of candy does each friend receive? A There are type your answer friends sharing the halloween candy B. Each friend would get type your answer pound(s) of candy

6 friends,

1/2 pound each,

Step-by-step explanation:

4 1/2 ÷3/4= 6

4 1/2÷9=.5

.5=1/2

  b.   the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

step-by-step explanation:

since the length of the interval is the same in each case, we only need to compare the change in y-value to see which is greater.

so the change in y-value for function f is (6 )) = 9.

the table tells us

so the change in y-value for function g is (31 -1) = 30.

the change in y-value of f(x) on the interval is less than the change in y-value of g(x) on the same interval, so the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).
