This the problem we are looking at: 6 pounds/18 = 72 ounces /?
To solve this, we have to make the unit of measurement the same. There are 16 ounces in 1 pound. So, there are 72 ounces in 4.5. To find that you just do 72 divided by 16. This is the new problem we are looking at: 6 pounds/18 = 4.5 pounds/?
To find ?, you must divided 6 divided by 4.5 to find the difference between the two to keep the same rate. That equals 1.33333333.
What is done to the numerator, you must do to the denominator to keep the same rate so now you divide 18 divided by 1.33333333 which equals 13.5
So for 72 ounces (4.5 pounds) it will cost $13.50
I hope this helps:)

Answer:
The bacteria took 1 hour and 40 minutes to fill the first bottle and it took only 10 minutes to fill 3 more. This is because of the amount of bacteria, for the first bottle there were only a few so it took them time to grow and multiply but once there were a lot the process starts to get faster. Think of it like this if you have 1 bacteria it will multiply into 2 bacteria. The 2 will multiply into 4, then 8, 16, 32, 62, 124 and so on. Do you notice how the numbers are getting bigger every time? Each number is being multiplied by 2 so the growth rate speeds up very quickly, which is why it took the bacteria 1 hour and 40 minutes to fill the first bottle and only 10 minutes to fill the other 3.
(I'm not sure but this is my theory)

Answer:
10/8 or 1 1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
1) distributive property
- 6(x+2)+7=5(x+3)-7(x-2)
- 6x+12+7=5x+15-7x+14
2) combine like terms
3) isolate x
4)simplify
