Mr. Hann is trying to decide how many new copies of a book to order for his students. Each book weighs 6 ounces

Which ordered pair is a viable solution if x represents the number of books he orders and y represents the total weight of the books, in ounces?

A. (–3, –18)
B. (–0.5, –3)
C. (0, 0)
D. (0.5, 3)

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that:

Weight of each book = 6 ounces

Number of books = x

Total weight of the books = y

x and y must be positive values. x denotes the number of books therefore it could not be a negative value or a fraction or decimal value.

By keeping this point in mind option A,B and D becomes invalid.

Thus the ordered pair with a viable solution is (0,0)....

Answer:

Only 0,0    You don't order negative numbers of books which eliminates the first two pairs.  And you don't order 1/2 a book which eliminates the last pair.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you order 0 shirts they will weight 0 ounces is the only viable solution.
