A toy manufacturer produces a set of blocks, with edge b, that can be used by children to build play structures. The production team is analyzing the amount of paint they need for a block. a. The production team decides to use one coat of paint for each block. Write an expression representing the minimum amount of paint needed for one block with edge b.

b. The production team decides one coat of paint is not enough, so they want to use two coats of paint for each block. Write an expression representing the minimum amount of paint needed for one block with edge b.

c. The production team purchases cans of paint that will cover 60in^2. Write an inequality representing the maximum length of edge b, in inches, when the block is covered with the minimum amount of paint needed for two coats of paint.

a. -0.3 > -0.33

after going and makeing graphs i would go with a,

there is nothing that is matches the graph. if there was i would show you. but therefore my answer is a.

hope i

proportions are fractions that equal to each other. so if two fractions are the same, they are proportional.

let's check the answers to see if they are proportional.

question a is not proportional because you can't turn 1.5/3 to 3/9. if you try to multiply 1.5/3 by 2 or 3, you wont get 3/9. it's impossible to make the fractions the same.

question b is not proportional because you can't turn 22/33 to 4/6. 33 can't go into 6.

question c is proportional because when you multiply 2 and 3 by 71, you would get 142/213, and those fractions equal to each other

question d is proportional because when you divide 14 and 7 by 2, you would end up with 7/3.5, and those fractions equal to each other.
