Q. C=105+247mA nutritionist uses the given equation as a measure of the total Calories, C, in a half bagel covered in m grams of cream cheese. What is the best interpretation of 24 as shown in the equation?Choose 1 answer:(A) A half bagel with no cream cheese has 24 Calories.(B) A half bagel and 24 grams of cream cheese have the same number of Calories.(C) The number of Calories increases by 24 for every additional 7 grams of cream cheese.(D) The number of grams of cream cheese increases by 24 for every additional 7 Calories.
Identify Components: The equation is C=105+(247)m. Let's identify the components of the equation.
Constant 105: The constant 105 represents the Calories in a half bagel without cream cheese.
Fraction (247):</b>The<ahref="https://www.bytelearn.com/math−topics/fractions"target="blank"class="backlink">fraction</a>$(247) is the rate at which Calories increase per gram of cream cheese added.
Variable m: The variable m represents the grams of cream cheese.
Denominator 24: The number 24 in the denominator of the fraction (247) indicates how many grams of cream cheese are needed for an increase of 7 Calories.
Calories Increase Explanation: So, for every 24 grams of cream cheese added, the total Calories increase by 7.
Incorrect Option Explanation: This means that option (C) "The number of Calories increases by 24 for every additional 7 grams of cream cheese" is incorrect because it's the other way around.
