Answer: 6 pounds of grapes
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 12 people that Joe is meant to buy for.
Each of them will receive 0.5 pounds of grapes.
All of them will therefore need:
= pounds of grapes per person * number of people
= 0.5 * 12
= 6 pounds of grapes
7.2x=14.4
7.2x/7.2= 14.4/7.2
x=2
This is a classic math problem, and it is not solved in a normal way.
<span>1+4=5
2+5=12
3+6=21
8+11=?
There is a pattern that can be spotted. 2+5 does not equal twelve, however 2*(2+5) does equal 12. Below is how to solve the rest of the equations:
</span>1+4=5 -> 1*(4+1)=5
2+5=12 -> 2*(5+1)=12
3+6=21 -> <span>3*(6+1)=21 </span>
8+11=? -> <span>8*(11+1)=96
</span>
This is one way to answer the problem, HOWEVER there is another way to answer the problem that gives the SAME answer, but many people mistakenly believes it gives a different answer. If anyone tries to post the other way of doing this problem, but tells you the answer is 40, please comment on this post or message me and let me know. I will explain why the answer is actually 96 either way.
Hey!~
To get the answer all you would need to do is divide 589/31=19.
If you round $19 dollars up, the closest number would be $20. The answer is B. $20.00.
Hope this helps and have a great day!
