Answer:

  $2.34

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost is the sum of the number of pounds multiplied by the cost per pound for each of the items purchased. Each of the four equal shares of the cost will be 1/4 of the total cost.

__

The distributive property can be used to simplify the problem.

  total cost = cost of apples + cost of pears

  share cost = 1/4(total cost) = 1/4((2.4 lb)($1.65/lb) +(2.4 lb)($2.25/lb))

  share cost = (1/4)(2.4)($1.65 +2.25) = 0.6($3.90)

  share cost = $2.34

Each of them should pay $2.34 for the apples and pears.

10) The line FG is a diameter of the circle with centre C (6, 1). Given F is (2.-3), find the coordinates of G.​
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Coordinates of the endpoint g is (10,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of a midpoint can be found using the formula;

(x,y) = (x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2

In this case, we have the mid point but we want to get the end point

Thus;

(6,1) = (x1 + 2)/2 , (y1-3)/2

x1 + 2 = 2(6)

x1 + 2 = 12

x1 = 12-2

x1 = 10

y1 - 3 = 2(1)

y1 -3 = 2

y1 = 2 + 3

y1 = 5

The coordinates of G are (10,5)

Someone please help me
MariettaO [177]

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{4}{7}x \: + \: \frac{5}{14}x \: = 39

\frac{8}{14}x \: + \: \frac{5}{14}x \: = 39

\frac{13}{14}x \: = 39

x = \frac{\cancel{39} \times 14}{\cancel{13}}

x = 3 × 14

x = 42

So, the solution of x is 42
