The flagpole is 70 feet tall

\frac{5.6}{4} = \frac{x}{50}

Divide, 5.6 by 4

1.4 = \frac{x}{50}

Simplify with cross multiplication 1.4 × 50,

70 = x

Write a function rule that gives the total cost c(p) of pounds of sugar if each pound cost $.59
aliina [53]
Answer: c(p) = 0.59*p

All we do is multiply the price per pound (0.59) by the number of pounds (p). In this case, we don't know how many pounds there are. So we leave p as is. If for instance, we had 10 pounds, then we'd replace p with 10. The variable is simply a placeholder for the unknown number.

The Snyder family uses up a 1 2 -gallon jug of milk every 3 days. At what rate do they drink milk?
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer: 4 gallons per day

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the Snyder family uses up a 12 -gallon jug of milk every 3 days.

The rate at which they drink milk will be gotten by dividing the gallons of milk they drink by the number of days. This will be:

= 12/3

= 4 gallons per day

Therefore, the rate they use in taking milk is 4 gallons per day.
