Answer:

1. 8/$12=21/$x then cross multiply.

2. 1/$1.5, we're looking for cost so $1 is more reasonable

3. $31.5

Step-by-step explanation:

12x 21/ 8 = 31.5

Answer:

<h2>$31.50 </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to use the rule of three, which is based on ratios and proportional relationships.

The ratio that shows the cost of pasta is:

\frac{\$12}{8 lb}

Which means that they charge $12 per 8 pounds of pasta.

Now, it would be help if we use the given ratio to apply the rule of three. Looking for a ratio per pound of pasta would be waste of time, and could confuse a lot. So, we just use the given ratio.

If 8 pounds of pasta costs $12, how much would be 21 pounds of pasta?

x=21 \ lb\frac{\$12}{8 \ lb}=\$ 31.50

Therefore, according to the given ration, it would cost $31.50 to get 21 pounds of pasta.

RoseWind [281]

Both tanji & kenji have same number of circles i.e. 50 .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , tanji creates a "square, circle" repeating pattern. Kenji creates a "Square, circle, triangle, circle" repeating pattern. if both tanji and kenji have 100 shapes in their patterns,  . We need to find that which pattern contains more circles .Let's find out :

<u>tanji creates a "square, circle" </u>

it's given that tanji has 100 shapes and he is repeating this pattern . In this pattern circle comes 1 every time out of 2 shapes :

Total number of times circle = \frac{100}{2}(1)

Total number of times circle = 50

<u>Kenji creates a "Square, circle, triangle, circle" </u>

it's given that tanji has 100 shapes and he is repeating this pattern . In this pattern circle comes 2 every time out of 4 shapes :

Total number of times circle = \frac{100}{4}(2)

Total number of times circle = 50

Both tanji & kenji have same number of circles i.e. 50 .
