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

sketch the curve represented by the parametric equations (indicate the orientation of the curve), write the corresponding rectan

pychu [463]

Answer:

Reduced equaton is $5x-3y+\frac{28}{3}=0$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parametric equation is,

$x=3t-5$ and $y=5t+1$

Now, $x=3t-5\implies t=\frac{x+5}{3}$ substitute in second equation we get,

$y=\frac{5}{3}(x+5)+1$

$y=\frac{5}{3}x+\frac{28}{9}$

$\implies 5x-3y+\frac{28}{3}=0$

which is the corresponding rectangular equation after eliinating the parameter.

Now consider,

$y=\frac{5}{3}x+\frac{28}{9}$

Of which,

Slope : $\frac{5}{3}$

when,

$x=0, y=\frac{28}{9}=3.1$

$x=1, y=\frac{43}{9}=4.8; x=-1, y=\frac{13}{9}=1.4$

$x=2, y=\frac{58}{9}=6.4; x=-2, y=\frac{-2}{9}=-0.2$

$x=3, y=\frac{73}{9}=8.1; x=-3, y=\frac{-17}{9}=-1.8$

$x=4, y=\frac{88}{9}=9.8; x=-4, y=\frac{-32}{9}=-3.6$

$x=5, y=\frac{103}{9}=11.4; x=-5, y=\frac{-47}{9}=-5.2$

ans so on. Thus sketching th curve will look like given,

A store has 1173 pairs of socks. the socks are sold in packs of 4 pairs. how many packs of socks can the store sell?

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

293 packs is the maximum the store can sell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the number of packs that can be made with 4 pairs of socks.

(1173 pairs)/(4 pairs/pack) = 293.25 packs

We can't sell 0.25 pack (1 pair of socks), so drop that fraction to yield 293 full packs. Donate the spare pair, so to speak, to the local IRS agent.

What the same as 1.4

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

$\frac{7}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

You can make 1.4 as a fraction, and it will be the same but in a different form.

So, to make a decimal by a fraction, you make 1.4 into a whole number. 1.4 will be 14.

Now, the denominator will be 10.

So, when you simplify $\frac{14}{10}$ , which is $\frac{7}{5}$

Hi i am having trouble dividing decimals, im not really sure how to devide at all i keep forgeting.

kolbaska11 [484]

If You know how to do long division then... You move the decimal that’s outside the house to where it’s not there no more then divide . Or turn the decimals into Fractions and do the reciprocal.
