Question

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? (–3, –18) (–0.5, –3) (0, 0) (0.5, 3)

Answer 1

Answer:

The only viable solution from the given options is ( 0 , 0 ).

Explanation:

It is given that

Weight of each book = 6 ounces

Number of books = x

Total weight of books = y

• Both x and y cannot be negative. So they must be positive values.
• Because x denotes the number of books, so it must be a positive integer. It cannot be a decimal number or in fraction.

So keeping these point in view, the only viable solution from the given options is ( 0 , 0 ).

I hope it will help you.
