A food pantry is making packages. Each package weighs 64 pounds. Here are two situations. For each situation, write and solve an equation to represent the situation, then explain what your solution means in the situation. If you get stuck, try drawing a diagram.

1.Each package contains 4 boxes. Each box contains a 7-pound bag of beans and a bag of rice. The bags of rice are all identical.

2.Each package contains 4 identical bags of rice and a 7-pound bag of beans.

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."

the area of the rectangle is 35units^2.

step-by-step explanation:

graph it and find the distance.

it is a 5*7 rectangle.

therefore the area is 35units^2.
