Answer:

  • apple: $2.25
  • mango: $1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "a" and "m" represent the cost of an apple and a mango, respectively. Then Cameron's purchase can be represented as ...

  4a +7m = 17.75

Gavin's purchase can be represented as ...

  2a +5m = 10.75

Subtracting the first equation from twice the second gives ...

  2(2a +5m) -(4a +7m) = 2(10.75) -(17.75)

  3m = 3.75

  m = 1.25

Then the price of an apple can be found from the second equation:

  2a +5(1.25) = 10.75

  2a = 4.50 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 6.25

  a = 2.25 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The price of an apple was $2.25; the price of a mango was $1.25.

Which expressions simplify to a rational answer? Select each correct answer. 29√⋅4√ 3√⋅16−−√ 73⋅−√3√ 5√⋅5√
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The correct options are 1, 3 and 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the expressions whose simplified form is a rational number.

Rational number: If a number is defined in the form of p/q where p and q are integers and q≠0, then it is called a rational number.

For example: 0,2, 4.3 etc.

Irrational number: If a number can not defined in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers and q≠0, then it is called an irrational number.

First expression is

2\sqrt{9}\cdot \sqrt{4}=2(3)\cdot (2)\Rightarrow 6\cdot 2=12

12 is a rational number.

Second expression is

\sqrt{3}\cdot \sqrt{16}=\sqrt{3}\cdot 4\Rightarrow 4\sqrt{3}

4\sqrt{3} is an irrational number.

Third expression is

7\sqrt{3}\cdot \sqrt{3}\Rightarrow 7\cdot 3=21

21 is a rational number.

Fourth expression is

\sqrt{5}\cdot \sqrt{5}=5

5 is a rational number.

Therefore, the correct options are 1, 3 and 4.
