Question

The amount of fat, in grams, in granola is proportional to the volume, in cups, of the granola as shown on the graph. A graph with a line running through coordinates (0,0) and coordinates (4,18) What is the unit rate in grams per cup? Enter your answer as a decimal in the box.

Answer 1

the answer is 4.5g/cup

Answer 2

`4.5` grams per cup

Explanation:

It is given that amount of fat in grams is proportional to the volume in cups,

Ans this is shown by the line graph.

We can find the amount of fat in grams per cup by finding the gradient of the given line.

Gradient =
`\frac{y_(1)-y_(2)}  {x_(1) - x_(2) }`

=
`(18-0)/(4-0)`

=
`(18)/(4)`

=
`4.5` grams per cup
