Answer:

The third reading must be between 6.3 and 8.1 inclusive.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the average of three numbers, add the three numbers and divide by 3.
Let the third reading = p.
The average of the three readings is

This average must be between 7.2 and 7.8 inclusive. "Inclusive" means that the values 7.2 and 7.8 are allowed. That means the average must be greater than or equal to 7.2 and less than or equal to 7.8. We can write this as the following inequality.

Simplify the numerator.

Multiply the three sides by 3.

Subtract 15.3 from the three sides.

Answer: The third reading must be between 6.3 and 8.1 inclusive.
Answer: 2 lbs of cherries
Cherries = $5 per pound
Oranges = $2 per pound
Total Cost = $18
Total weight = 6 lb
------------------------------------
Define x and y
------------------------------------
Let x be the number of lb of cherries
Let y be the number of lb of oranges
------------------------------------
Construct equations
------------------------------------
x + y = 6 ---------------------------- (1)
5x + 2y = 18 ---------------------------- (2)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x and y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
From equation (1):
x + y = 6
x = 6 - y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute x = 6 - y into equation 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5x + 2y = 18
5 (6 - y) + 2y = 18
30 - 5y + 2y = 18
3y = 30 - 18
3y = 12
y = 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = 4 into equation (1)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 6
x + 4 = 6
x = 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the weight of cherries and oranges
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cherry = x = 2 lb
Oranges = y = 4 lbs
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Alex bought 2 lb of cherries

Answer:
Rectangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the diagonals are equal then the parallelogram is a rectangle. They are also equal in length in a square, which can be regarded as a special type of rectangle - but in this case the diagonals are perpendicular. They are also perpendicular in a rhombus.
