Answer:

C. 30

Step-by-step explanation:

15 men do work in 16 days

This means that 7.5 men (15/2) would do that same work in 32 days (16x2).

If the number of men increase, the amount of days decrease.

8 men would do that work in 30 days

8 men > 7.5 men

30 days < 32 days

1. The weekly ad for a local grocery store advertises a 5 pound bag of organic apples for $13.95. Round each rate to the nearest
kaheart [24]

Answer:

(a). Weight of the bag of organic apples for advertising = 5 pound

Cost of the advertisement of 5 pound bag of organic apples = $13.95

Now, to find the unit rates :

Cost of advertising 5 pound bag of organic apple = $13.95

\text{Cost of advertising 1 pound bag of organic apple = }\frac{13.95}{5}=\$2.79

Hence, unit rate of advertising 1 pound of organic apples = $2.79

$13.95 is charged for advertisement of 5 pound of organic apples

\$\text{1 will be charged for advertisement of }\frac{5}{13.95}=0.36\text{ pounds}

Hence, one unit or $1 is charged for advertisement of 0.36 pounds of organic apples.

(b) Cost of 5 pound is given to be $13.95

So, the rate which is typically used in the given problem is : Dollars per pound.
