World's Finest Coffee (Decaf) is sold by the case where one case contains 48 6-ounce packages. A restaurant uses 36 pounds of this coffee each month. How many cases must be ordered per month?

The number of cases to be purchased is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

World's Finest Coffee (Decaf) is sold by the case where one case contains 48 6-ounce packages.

First, we need to calculate how many pounds are in each case.

1 pound = 16 ounces

1 case= (48*6)/16

1 case= 18 pounds

Now, the number of cases required each month:

36 pounds = 18*x

x= number of cases

x= 36/18

x= 2

The number of cases to be purchased is 2.

- "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."
