Answer: option A is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of oranges in a grocery store is directly proportional to the number of oranges purchased. Jerri paid $2.52 for 6 oranges.

If p represents the cost, in dollars,and n represents the number of oranges purchased, then introducing a proportionality constant, k, the equation becomes

p = kn

2.52 = k × 6

k = 2.52/6 = 0.42

Therefore, the equation representing the relationship is

p = 0.42n

the correct mixture of oil to gas in a weed eater is 1/2 pint of oil to 2 1/2 gallons of gas. how many pints of oil are needed f
Stells [14]
This requires 2 pints of oil.

Using a proportion to solve this, we have:
\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{2\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{x}{10}

Cross multiplying, we have
1/2*10 = (2 1/2)*x
5 = (2 1/2)x

Divide both sides by 2 1/2:
5÷(2 1/2) = (2 1/2)x÷(2 1/2)
2 = x
