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

Convert y=9 from rectangular to polar form
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

r = 9/sin Ф or r = 9 csc Ф

Step-by-step explanation:

The polar form is represented as:

x = r cos Ф and

y = r sin Ф

We are given:

y = 9

Putting value in y = r sin Ф

9 = r sin Ф

=> r = 9/sin Ф

1/sin Ф = csc Ф

or, r = 9 csc Ф

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

37.5 acres.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction of his land  where vegetables are grown

= 1 - 1/3 - 2/3 *3/5

(after taking away 1/3 we get 2/3 and the farmer uses 3/5 of this 2/3 to grow Maize.

= 1 - 1/3 - 6/15              LCD of 3 and 15= 15  so we write:

= 1 - 5/15 - 6/15

= 1 - (5+6)/16

=  1 - 11/15

= 4/15.

4 /15 is equivalent to  10 acres

so  total  area (= 1)  =   10 / 4/15     Invert the 4/15 and multiply:

= 10 * 15/4

=  150/4

= 37.5 acres.
