I believe you meant to say that if Samantha bought 510 pounds of hamburger, how much will she pay?
Now from the information we already have, we know that 3 pounds of hamburger will cost 6 dollars.
The next thing we need to know is how much one pound of hamburger will cost. This will help us calculate how much the rest will cost.
we now form an equation to assist us.
3 = 6
1= x
(where x represents the unknown price of one pound of hamburger)
Now we must cross-multiply:
3 * x = 6 x 1
3x = 6
x = 6/3
x = 2
therefore one pound of hamburger costs 2 dollars.
Now, If one pound costs 2 dollars, how about 510 pounds?
We simply multiply: 510 x 2 = 1,020
Therefore Samantha will pay 1, 020 dollars for 510 pounds of hamburger.
Answer:
x=10/3 y=17/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Use substitution to solve your equation. Plug in y=2x-1 into y=1/2x+4. This makes (2x-1)=1/2x+4. Simplify this to get 3/2x-1=4. Simplify it again to get 3/2x=5. No one likes fractions so multiply both sides by 2 to get 3x=10. Simplify this and get x=10/3. Plus 10/3 into one of the equations. You can pick anyone but I picked y=2x-1. Because you know x=10/3, you put y=2(10/3)-1. Simplify this and get y=20/3-1. Convert 1 into a fraction and get y=20/3-3/3. Simplify this and get y=17/3.
Therefore,
x=10/3 y=17/3

Answer:
- Carlton thinks that converting metric units is as easy as moving the <u>decimal point</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
- When you convert the unit, you move decimal point on your answer from the left to the right or from the right to the left the number of places as per relevant prefix.
<u>Example:
</u>
- 1 meter = 1000 millimeters (1.0 m = 1000.0 mm)
- 1 milligram = 0.001 grams ( 1.0 mg = 0.001 g)
