Divide the second amount by five to find out how much it costs at the second farmers market to get 1 pound of bananas.
5/5=1
4.50/5=.9
.9>.8 so the first farmers market had a better deal.
The y-intercept will be 1
I believe that the snail would be 43 5/12 inches away from the bottom after 20 minutes.
First, set up the equation.
365x + 125 = 250x + 175
Second, combine like terms on the same side by subtracting 250x and 125 from both sides.
365x +125 = 250x + 175
-250x -125 -250x -125
__________________
115x = 50
Third, divide both sides by 115 to solve for x.
115x = 50
---- ----
115 115
Fourth, simplify.
x=50/115=10/23 or 0.435
