Set up a proportion. 3.50 over 5 = x over 1 (x is what we are trying to find= the cost of 1 lb of apples)
Use cross products and multiply 3.50 by 1 to get 3.50 and then divide that by 5 to get 0.7.
So the apple cost 0.7 or seventy cents per pound.
Check: 0.7*5=3.5
That is correct!
Hope this helps!

Answer:
irrational, it can't be written as a fraction
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
question 1: 24
question 2: (1/45)*(1/5)=(1/9)
Step-by-step explanation:
Y+4<u><</u>9
subtract 4
y<u><</u>5
y is smaller than and equal to 5
so you shade from 5 to the negative end to infinity (to the left) and shade the 5 to show that it is included (attachment says A)
6 less than (-6) 2 times a number (2 time x) is greater than (>) 8 (8)
-6+2x>8
add 6
2x>14
divide 2
x>7
so
x is bigger than 7
shade from 7 to the positive end to infinity (to the right) and don't shade 7 but put a circle around it to show that it is not included (attachment says B )
