At a candy store you can get 3 giant lollipops for $4.89. How much would it cost to buy 10 lollipops?

$16.30

Step-by-step explanation:

So if you can buy 3 lollipops for $4.89, then you can by 1 for $1.63. Then 10 lollipops would be $16.30.  

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
