Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

Cost of 3 pounds of apples = $5.25

Cost of unit pounds of apples = $(5.25)/(3)= 1.75$ dollars.

So, price is $1.75 per pound.

At this rate, how many pounds of apples can be purchased for $17.50

Amount of apples = $(17.50)/(1.75)=10$ pounds

Let x represent the number of pounds of apples and y the total cost of the apples.

So, the equation that represents the direct variation between the total cost of the apples and the number of pounds of apples

$y=1.75x$

Answer 2

Answer: $1.75 per pound of apples, 10 apples can be purchased for $17.50 because you divide 17.50 by 1.75 since that is your unit rate per pound.

What is 31/6 as an mixed number

Answers

To find a mixed number from an improper fraction, you have to find how many times the denominator goes into the numerator (without going over).

6 goes into 31 five times.

The whole number is 5.

There is 1 leftover number, which will be the numerator.
The denominator will stay the same, 6.

$5(1)/(6)$

When you divide 48 and 78 by 2, you get 24 and 39. Then divide 24 and 39 by 3 and you will get 8 and 13, which don't have any common factors.

The same happens with 12 and 30...
When 12 and 30 are divided by 2, you get 6 and 15. Then divide 6 and 15 by 3 and you get 2 and 5, which have no more common factors.
