When comparing x^2 + 10 and x + x + x equals to:
x^2 +10 is greater than x + x + x when x = -5
Because -5^2 + 10 = 25 + 10 = 35
and -5 + -5 + -5 = -15
So, 35 > -15
Answer:
The apricots are less expensive per pound.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of 1 pound of almonds = 21.98/2
Cost of 2 pounds of almonds = $21.98
So then you have to do 21.98 - 21.98/2. Which equals $10.99
Cost of 1 pound of dried apricots = 26.25/3
Cost of 3 pounds of dried apricots = $26.25
So then you have to do $26.25 - 26.25/3 which = $17.5 then divide that by 2 which equals $8.75.
To find out how much less expensive you have to find the difference, so to do that you have to do $10.99 - $8.75 = $2.24 per pound less expensive.
Given:
6% of the random sample were not edible
2300 ears of corn were picked
Find number of those ears of corn that were not edible.
2,300 * 6% = 138
138 ears of corn were not edible.
5/8 *23=115/8
115/8 can be simplified to 14 and 3/8
The cat weighs 14 and 3/8 pounds
