Answer:

$1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

5 pounds of avocado = $9

This means that 5 pounds of avocado cost $9; The cost of 1 pound of Avocado can be obtained thus ;

Let cost of 1 pound of avocado = a

5 pounds = $9

1 pound = a

Cross multiply

5 * a = $9 * 1

5a = 9

Divide both sides by 5

5a / 5 = 9/5

a = 1.8

Hence, 1 pound of avocado will cost $1.8

Answer:

Your second answer, otherwise know as 1 in. : 4ft. is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The new map is 3 times bigger than the old map, therefore your given scale for the first map will shrink by 3 to compensate for the new map being bigger. Divide 12ft by 3 and you get 4 ft., so your answer is 1in. : 4ft.

Find the length of a rectangular lot with a perimeter of 120 meters if the length is 6 meters more than the width

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The length is 33 and the Width is 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

So I made it easier by only looking at half of the rectangle. 120 divided by 2 is 60. So out of the length and width, it had to add to equal 60. I plugged in a few numbers and determined 27 and 33. SO, if you add those together it equals 60 while 33 is 6 more meters than 27 and two 27 and two 33 equals 120 for the whole rectangle

For this problem, assume that three students are chosen from 5 freshmen, 4 sophomores, and 4 juniors.

Sati [7]

The formula $C(n, r)= \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$ , where r! is 1*2*3*...r

is the formula which gives us the total number of ways of forming groups of r objects, out of n objects.

for example, given 10 objects, there are C(10,6) ways of forming groups of 6, out of the 10 objects.

<span>The sample space S in our problem is as follows: </span>

triples selected from 5 freshmen, 4 sophomores, and 4 juniors, so that at least 1 freshman is selected.

The selection of 1 freshman can be done in 5 ways. The selection of the remaining 2 out of 4 freshmen (one is already chosen), 4 sophomores, and 4 juniors can be done in C(12, 2) many ways.

$C(12, 2)=\displaystyle{ \frac{12!}{2!10!}= \frac{12\cdot11\cdot10!}{2!10!}=66$
