Answer:
The cost per pound of bananas is $0.84.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks to use the given information to set up a proportion and solve for the missing variable. In this case, we know that the cost of 2 1/4 (or 2.25) bananas is $1.89. Since they are asking for cost per pound, we can set up a ratio (fraction):
Since the cost of bananas is the same regardless of the number of pounds, we can set up a proportion to find the cost for just one (1) pound:
Where 'x' is the cost.
Using cross-multiplication and division we get: 2.25x = 1.89. Next, we use inverse operations to divide both sides by 2.25: 2.25x/2.25 = 1.89/2.25. Solve: x = 0.84 or $0.84 per pound.

Answer: c 4/5
Step-by-step explanation: out of 5 only four are chosen leaving us with an answer of 4/5 :D hope it helped
Let us assume the first even number = n
The second consecutive even number = n + 2
The third consecutive even number = n + 4
The addition of the three consecutive even numbers is 42 and it is already given in the question. Based on the information's given in the question, the answer can be easily deduced.
Then, the equation can be written as
n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) = 42
3n + 6 = 42
3n = 42 - 6
3n = 36
n = 36/3
= 12
So
The first even number = 12
The second consecutive even number = n + 2
= 12 + 2
= 14
The third consecutive even number = n + 4
= 12 + 4
= 16
So the three consecutive even numbers are 12, 14, 16.
The answer is A. $14,523.60
