On saturday, carrie went to the store and bought 4 loaves of bread and 1 gallon of milk for a total of $12.50. the next weekend, she went to the same store and spent 11.50 on 2 loaves of bread and 2 gallons of milk. the prices had not changed. what is the price for 1 gallon of milk

The price of one gallon of milk is $3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> the price of one loaves of bread

y----> the price of one gallon of milk

we know that

4x+y=12.50 ----> equation A

2x+2y=11.50 ----> equation B

Solve the system of equations by graphing

Remember that the solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

The solution is the point (2.25,3.5)

see the attached figure

therefore

The price of one loaves of bread is $2.25

The price of one gallon of milk is $3.5

9 sandwiches per hour

step-by-step explanation:

when we have a rate, we want a 1 in the denominator

27/3 = 9

27 sandwiches/ 3 hours = 9 sandwiches/hour

1 number

if we use a graphing calculator, there is only one such number that satisfies the conclusion of the mean value theorem, that is, a number such that

where the right-hand side is the average rate of change of f on the interval [0.5,0.75], which is the slope of the secant line.

in the attached graph, the black line is the secant line which has its slope as the average rate of change of f on [0.5,0.75], while the orange line is the only tangent line to the graph of f in the interval that satisfies the mvt conclusion.
