Abackhoe can dig 5 10 of a ton of dirt in 1 6 of a hour. compute the unit rate by setting up a complex fraction and simplifying. a) 1 tons per hour b) 3 tons per hour c) 6 tons per hour d) 9 tons per hour

answer: there are 453.592 grams in a pound.

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
