Loretta visits the supermarket to purchase groceries. Tissue boxes are on sale for 3/4 of a dollar per box.

Question

Which graph represents the cost of x tissue boxes?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, I cannot provide an image or draw a graph for you as I can only provide text-based responses. However, I can describe to you how to represent the cost of x tissue boxes on a graph.

To represent the cost of x tissue boxes, you would use a line graph. On the x-axis, you would represent the number of boxes of tissue (x) and on the y-axis, you would represent the cost in dollars.

For example, if x represents the number of tissue boxes, and the boxes are on sale for 3/4 of a dollar per box, you can create a table to show the relationship between x boxes and the cost:

x (number of boxes) | Cost (in dollars)
---------------------------------------
1 | 3/4
2 | 1.5
3 | 2.25
4 | 3
5 | 3.75

Then, you can plot these points on the graph and connect them with a straight line. The line would start at the point (1, 3/4) and continue upwards, with a slope of 3/4, showing the increase in cost as the number of boxes increases.

Answer 2

Aden records the height of a stack of building blocks as he adds blocks to the top of the stack. The graph shows the height, in inches, based on the number of building blocks in the stack.
Which statement best interprets the unit rate of the situation?
A.
Each building block added to the stack increases the height by 1/2 of an inch.
B.
For every 2 blocks added to the stack, the height increases by 1/2 of an inch.
C.
Each building block added to the stack increases the height by 2 inches.
D.
For every 2 blocks added to the stack, the height increases by 1 inch.

Answer 3

Based on the graph, the statement that best interprets the unit rate of the situation is:

B. For every 2 blocks added to the stack, the height increases by 1/2 of an inch.
