Answer:

15/4

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a proportion question

It says 1/2 crates of apple are used for every 3/4 crates of oranges

For 5/2 crates of apple, x crates of oranges will be needed.

To get x, we simply multiply 1/2 by x and equate it to 3/4 multiplied by 5/2

This means: 0.5x = 0.75 × 2.5

x = ( 0.75 × 2.5 ) ÷ 0.5 = 3.75

Hence for 5/2 crates for apple, she will need 15/4 crates of oranges.

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

65,81,97,113,129


Step-by-step explanation:


she has 65 water bottles and she is buying boxes of water bottles (x) that hold 16 water bottles each. She can only buy up to 5 water bottles.



f(x) = 16x + 65...where f(x) = total water bottles and x = number of boxes


x < = 5 here is ur restriction



the range is ur f(x) values which represent the total number of water bottles...keep in mind, she can only buy 5. Therefore, the numbers that can be subbing in for x are 0 thru 5.



So when subbing in 0 thru 5 for x, the results for f(x) are :


{ 65,81,97,113,129 }
