Max buys 4 bags of rice. Each bag weighs 5/8 pound. What is the total weight of the that max buys?

20/8 pounds or equivalently 10/4 or 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

4*5/8=(4*5)/8=20/8

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.
