4/3 = 1/x.....4 lbs potatoes to $3 = 1 lb of potatoes to $x
cross multiply
(4)(x) = (3)(1)
4x = 3
x = 3/4
x = 0.75....so 1 lb of potatoes cost 75 cents

(8,6)...this means 8 lbs of potatoes cost $6

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: Her measuring cup has 8.25 mL of medicine.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given,

In 11 mL of medicine, there are 20 drops.

That means quantity in 1 drop = $\dfrac{11}{20}$ mL

Now , the quantity in 15 drops = 15 x quantity in 1 drop

= $15\times\dfrac{11}{20}$

$=\dfrac{33}{4}$

= 8.25 mL

Hence, her measuring cup has 8.25 mL of medicine.
