Question

10 numeric 1 point a cannery processed 425 pounds of strawberries in 2.5 hours. the cannery processed 2150 pounds in 10 hours. how many pounds of strawberries can be processed in 8 hours? answer: 11 multiple choice 1 point rewrite the linear equation ( y + 15 = 7(x - 20) ) from point - slope form to slope intercept form (( y = mx + b )) ( y = 7x + 125 ) ( y = 7x + 5 ) ( y = - 8x - 5 ) ( y = 7x - 155 ) ( y = - 8x + 5 ) ( y = 7x - 35 ) ( y = - 8x - 140 ) ( y = - 8x - 20 )

Explanation:

Problem 10

Step1: Calculate hourly processing rate

First, verify the consistent hourly rate using both given data sets:
From first set: $\frac{425}{2.5} = 170$ pounds/hour
From second set: $\frac{2150}{10} = 215$ pounds/hour
Note: There is a discrepancy in the given data, but we use the second rate (more precise 10-hour window) for calculation.

Step2: Compute 8-hour processing amount

Multiply hourly rate by 8 hours:
$215 \times 8 = 1720$

To convert the point-slope equation $y + 15 = 7(x - 20)$ to slope-intercept form ($y=mx+b$), isolate $y$ by expanding the right side and simplifying:

1. Distribute the 7: $y + 15 = 7x - 140$
2. Subtract 15 from both sides: $y = 7x - 155$

Answer:

1720
