Depending on how flexibly you interpret "about 20 times larger" to mean, the answers are B and D.
Check the ratios of the larger number to the smaller number:
A: (2.01 x 10^7)/(4.25 x 10^6) = 2.01/4.25 x 10^1 = 20.1/4.25 = 4.729
B: (8.21 x 10^-3)/(4.13 x 10^-4) = 8.21/4.13 x 10^1 = 82.1/4.13 = 19.879
C: (4.91 x 10^6)/(5.09 x 10^3) = 4.91/5.09 x 10^3 = 4910/5.09 = 964.637
D: (5.97 x 10^4)/(3.12 x 10^3) = 5.97/3.12 x 10^1 = 59.7/3.12 = 19.135
Answer:
1 pear = $0.75; 1 orange = $0.65
Step-by-step explanation:
(1) 3P + 4O = 4.85
(2) 3P + 10O = 8.75 Eqn (2) - Eqn (1)
3P + 10O – 3P – 4O = 8.75 – 4.85 Combine like terms
6O = 3.90 Divide each side by 6
O = $0.65 Substitute into Eqn (1)
3P + 4×0.65 = 4.85
3P + 2.60 = 4.85 Subtract 2.60 from each side
3P = 2.25 Divide each side by 3
P = $0.75
Oranges cost $0.65 each and pears are $0.75 each
Mean = (2+4+6+5+2)/5 = 19/5 = 3.8
