Jake buys a bag of popcorn at a movie theater. He eats half of the popcorn during the 15 minutes of previews. After eating half of the popcorn, he stops eating for the next 30 minutes. Then he gradually eats the popcorn until he accidentally spills all of the remaining popcorn. Which of the following graphs could represent the situation?

The correct answer is:

Explanation:

• We have given Jake buys a bag of popcorn at a movie theater. He eats half of the popcorn during the 15 minutes of previews. After eating half of the popcorn, he stops eating for the next 30 minutes. Then he gradually eats the popcorn until he accidentally spills all of the remaining popcorn
• We have to plot the graph that represent the given situation.

Step 1 of 1:
Point 1
Jake eats half of the popcorn during the first 15 minutes. Since the remaining popcorn decreased by half, there should be a declining line on the graph during the first 15 minutes.
All except from Option A and D are in accordance to this point, so we are left with just B and C
Point 2
He stop eating for the next 30 minutes. This mean that during the next 30 minutes, the popcorn remaining was unchanged. Thus, there should have a straight horizontal line from 15 minutes up to 45 minutes.
Option B and C matches this point, so we move on to the final point
Point 3
Jake  gradually eats the popcorn until he accidentally spills all of the remaining popcorn. This means that the amount of popcorn decreases gradually, represented on the graph by a shallow decline line and then a sudden drop to zero
Hence, Option B is correct.
