We know that 5 lbs of apples cost $2.99

To know how much do 3 lbs of apple cost, you can use cross multiplication

If 5 lbs cost $2.99

Then 3 lbs cost $x

The proportion between the price and the number of apples is the same, you have to calculate it as:

\begin{gathered} \frac{2.99}{5}=\frac{x}{3} \\ (\frac{2.99}{5})\cdot3=x \\ x=1.794 \end{gathered}

3 lbs of apples cost $1.79

ollegr [7]
The numbers that are divisible by 3 are:

3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24
that is 8 numbers divisible by 3

24-8=16 numbers NOT divisible by 3

so the probability of not picking a number divisible by 3 is 16/24


hope this helps and is right :)

What is the radius of a sphere with a volume of 4.5π cubic centimeters?
Snowcat [4.5K]
V=(4/3)pir^3
4.5pi=(4/3)pir^3
divide both sides by pi
4.5=(4/3)r^3
times 3/4 both sides
3.375=r^3
cube root both sides
1.5=r
radius is 1.5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the image of the graph you determine if that's perpendicular.

Perpendicular definition - In elementary geometry, the property of being perpendicular is the relationship between two lines which meet at a right angle. The property extends to other related geometric objects. A line is said to be perpendicular to another line if the two lines intersect at a right angle.
