- A veterinarian recommends that each day a certain rabbit should eat 25 calories per pound of the rabbit’s weight, plus an additional 11 calories. Which equation represents this situation, where c is the total number of calories the veterinarian recommends the rabbit should eat each day if the rabbit’s weight is x pounds?
Correct answer: D (parsed from the explanation — this source omits an answer key for this item)
Explanation
Choice D is correct. It’s given that a veterinarian recommends that each day the 25 rabbit should eat calories per pound of the rabbit’s weight, plus an additional 25 11 calories. If the rabbit’s weight is x pounds, then multiplying calories per 25 pound by the rabbit’s weight, x pounds, yields x calories. Adding the additional 25 +11 11 calories that the rabbit should eat each day yields x calories. It’s given that c is the total number of calories the veterinarian recommends the rabbit should eat each day if the rabbit’s weight is x pounds. Therefore, this situation =25 +11 can be represented by the equation c x . Choice A is incorrect. This equation represents a situation where a veterinarian 25 recommends that each day the rabbit should eat calories per pound of the rabbit’s weight. Choice B is incorrect. This equation represents a situation where a 25+11 36 veterinarian recommends that each day the rabbit should eat , or , calories per pound of the rabbit’s weight. Choice C is incorrect. This equation represents a situation where a veterinarian recommends that each day the rabbit 25 should eat 11 calories per pound of the rabbit’s weight, plus an additional calories.
