If you would like to know how much will the watermelon cost, you can calculate this using the following steps:

$1.27 ... 1 pound
$c = ? ... 5.5 pounds

1.27 * 5.5 = 1 * c
c = 1.27 * 5.5
c = $6.99

The correct result would be: <span>c = $1.27 * 5.5 pounds = $6.99.</span>

Answer:

It's D.) 1/1.27 = 5.5/c

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the proportion to be  

weight in pounds

cost

. Keeping the variables the same on both sides the correct proportion is

1 /1.27

=  

5.5 /c .

Write an expression for the perimeter of the triangle shown below: (4 points)
mario62 [17]

Answer:

The expression of the perimeter of the triangle is 0.1x - 16 ⇒ C

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides</em>

Let us solve the problem

∵ The lengths of the sides of a triangle are:

  • 0.5x + 9
  • 3x
  • -3.4x - 25

∵ The perimeter of the triangle = sum of lengths of its sides

∴ The perimeter = (0.5x + 9) + (3x) + (-3.4x - 25)

→ Add the like terms

∵ The perimeter = (0.5x + 3x - 3.4x) + (9 + -25)

→ Remember (+)(-) = (-)

∴ The perimeter = (3.5x - 3.4x) + (9 - 25)

∴ The perimeter = 0.1x + -16

∴ The perimeter = 0.1x - 16

The expression of the perimeter of the triangle is 0.1x - 16

The U.S Olympic Team has long distance runners who run a 10,000 meter race. If a runner was to run 50 races, how many centimeter
Ede4ka [16]
There are 100 centimeters in 1 meter. So to start with you must multiply 10000 by 100 to determine the number of centimeters in each race. This answer will be 1000000. Then to determine the number of centimeters in fifty races, you must multiply 1000000 by 50. This answer is 50000000. Then you must put it in scientific notation. 

To do this you must move the decimal place over to the left until there is only one, nonzero number in front of it. Because you will move it to the left, your exponent will be positive. Therefore, your answer will be B.

What's the probability of the compound event for. A bag contains 4 red, 8 blue, 6 yellow and 2 green marbles. Maria selects a ma
Nataly [62]

Given:

Number of red marbles = 4

Number of blue marbles = 8

Number of yellow marbles = 6

Number of green marbles = 2

To find:

The probability of getting a blue marble then a red marble, i.e., P(blue, red).

Solution:

Using the given information,

The total number of marbles = 4+8+6+2

                                                = 20

Probability of getting a blue marble in first draw is

P(Blue)=\dfrac{\text{Number of blue marbles}}{\text{Total number of marbles}}

P(Blue)=\dfrac{8}{20}

P(Blue)=\dfrac{2}{5}

Maria selects a marble, puts it back and then selects a second marble. It means the total number of marbles remains the same.

P(red)=\dfrac{\text{Number of red marbles}}{\text{Total number of marbles}}

P(red)=\dfrac{4}{20}

P(red)=\dfrac{1}{5}

Now, the probability of getting a blue marble then a red marble is

P(blue,red)=\dfrac{2}{5}\times \dfrac{1}{5}

P(blue,red)=\dfrac{2}{25}

Therefore, the required probability P(blue, red) is \dfrac{2}{25}.
