Question

A cannery processed 1,445 pounds of strawberries in 4.5 hours. The cannery processed 2,320 pounds in 7 hours. Write a linear equation to model the relationship between the weight of strawberries S and time T. How many pounds of strawberries can be processed in 11 hours?

Answer 1

Once you find the equation of your line, subsitute T = 11 into it and find the corresponding value of S

Answer 2

How do I find the equation of my line? This isn't a graph?

Answer 3

y-1445=350(x-4.5)

Answer 4

I simplified that and got y = 350 x-130.

Answer 5

Your variables should be in terms of T and S

Answer 6

How do i do that?

Answer 7

S=350T-130

Answer 8

What does t stand for tho

Answer 9

Plug in T = 11
That's the last thing you need to do to find S

Answer 10

did that help

Answer 11

Where'd 11 come from?

Answer 12

11 hours
