The customer can purchase 1.19788 pounds of cheese (approximately 1.2 pounds).

<h3>How much cheese can she purchase?</h3>

We are given with the cost of ham is $2.49 per pound and

Cost of swiss cheese is $3.79 per pound.

So, the cost of 2 pounds of ham will be given as-

= 2× $2.49

= $4.98

Since, the customer has a total of  $9.50 to spend on 2 pounds of ham and some cheese,

∴ Let the number of pounds of cheese she can purchase be x.

Then the equation will be this:

2.49*2 + 3.79*x = 9.50

4.98 + 3.79x = 9.50

Subtracting 4.98 from each side we get-

4.98 -4.98 + 3.79x = 9.50-4.98

3.79x = 4.54

x  =\frac{4.54}{3.79}

x = 1.19788 pounds of cheese (approximately 1.2 pounds).

Hence, the customer can purchase 1.19788 pounds of cheese (approximately 1.2 pounds).

What is the length of s
DIA [1.3K]
You can either solve this with the Pythagorean theorem or the special triangles rule which can be applied to (degrees —>) 45/45/90 or 30/60/90 triangles.

With the Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2 is used with the numbers accordingly- 5 and S are legs and can be either a or b while √50 being the hypotenuse can only be c

(5)^2 + (s)^2 =(√50)^2

25 + (s)^2 = 50

√ ((s)^2) = √ (50 - 25)

s = 5

The special Triangles rule actually states that a shortcut can be applied to the corresponding sides (look at picture). S is directly across from a 45 degree angle (and so is 5!)

If a = 5, than s must also = 5.

Which of the following is the standard form of 36 / 24​
RSB [31]

Answer:

15 x 10^-1

Step-by-step explanation:

36÷24=1.5

In this case I'm considering 15 as the base of my standard form.

To make 15 a 1.5, you'll have to move from right to left one unit and on the number line moving from the right to left gives you a negative number of units moved
