Answer 1

It takes 9 cups of water to boil 3 eggs. Which of the following equations correctly identifies the unit rate for boiling one egg?(1 point)
Responses

y=39x
y equals Start Fraction 3 over 9 End Fraction x

y=3x
y equals 3 x

y=93x
y equals Start Fraction 9 over 3 End Fraction x

y=13x

Answer 2

The unit rate can be determined by finding the slope of the line graphed on the coordinate plane. In this case, we can determine the slope by finding the change in y divided by the change in x between any two points on the line.

Using the given points (0, 0) and (0.4, 1), the change in y is 1 - 0 = 1 and the change in x is 0.4 - 0 = 0.4.

Therefore, the unit rate is 1/0.4 = 2.5.

The correct answer is 2.5.

Answer 3

To find the unit rate for boiling one egg, we need to determine how many cups of water are needed for one egg.

Given that it takes 9 cups of water to boil 3 eggs, the unit rate would be the amount of water needed for one egg.

Dividing 9 cups of water by 3 eggs gives us 3 cups of water per one egg.

Therefore, the correct equation that identifies the unit rate for boiling one egg is y = 3x.

The correct answer is y = 3x.
