Alocal store has a puppy that weighs 88 ounces. how many pounds does the puppy weigh, given that 1 pound = 16 ounces? (input only the numeric values and decimal points, such as 6.4.)

5.5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportion to sole this problem

The question asks us to find the number of pounds a puppy of 88 ounce  weighs if 1 pound = 16 ounces

Using proportion;

Let x be the number of pounds  the puppy weighs

1  pound  =   16 ounces

       x        =    88 ounces

Cross-multiply

16 × x =  88 × 1

16 x  =  88

Divide both-side of the equation by 16

 =

(On the left-hand side of the equation 16 at the numerator will cancel-out the 16 at the denominator, leaving us with just x while at the right-hand side of the equation 88 will be divided by 16)

x  =  5.5  pounds

Therefore the puppy weighs 5.5 pounds

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!

function 2 has a greater rate of change than function 1

function 2 has a greater y-intercept than function 1
