Well we are going to use 3lbs for $21 as our rate.
Lets set it up in a fraction.

3lbs
--------
$21

So we want to know how much 9lbs would cost..
Well lets set that up as a fraction as well.
9lbs
--------
x

We put x there because we dont know how much 9lbs will cost.

Now we know that in order to get 9lbs they just multipled 3lbs x 3
And that gave us 9lbs!!!
3lbs x 3 = 9lbs

Now when dealing with fractions we must always keep one rule in mind.
What ever you do to the top you must do to the bottom.
So we could multiply $21 by 3 and get our 9lbs cost!!
$21 x 3 = $63

So this means we can finally say our answer!
Answer = 9lbs would cost $63

Good Luck! :)

in a salad with vegetables containing 50 calories dressing is added at 100 calories per ounce. The total number of calories can

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the reasonable range of the situation, we will find the minimum value and maximum value of the calories that can be dressed.

The minimum occur at when x = 0

f(0) = 100(0) +50.

f(0) = 50

Hence the minimum value of the calorie is 50.

The maximum value occur at f'(x)

f'(x) = 100

Hence the maximum value of the calorie is 100

Hence, the reasonable range for the situation is 50 ≤ x ≤ 100

Si elegimos un día de la semana al azar, ¿qué probabilidad hay de que sea fin de semana (ya sabemos que hay dos días…)?

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

La probabilidad que hay de que sea fin de semana es $\frac{2}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

La Probabilidad es la mayor o menor posibilidad de que ocurra un determinado suceso. En otras palabras, la probabilidad establece una relación entre el número de sucesos favorables y el número total de sucesos posibles. Entonces, la probabilidad de un suceso cualquiera A se define como el cociente entre el número de casos favorables (número de casos en los que puede ocurrir o no el suceso A) y el número total de casos posibles. Esta se denomina Ley de Laplace.

$P(A)=\frac{numero de casos favorables}{numero de casos posibles}$
