Julia bought 18 apples at the store. She then divided the apples up between her mother, her father, and herself in 2:1:3 ratio.

That is, her mother received 2 parts, her father 1 part, and Julia 3 parts of all the apples. How many apples did each person receive?

Julia bought 18 in total, and she gave each person a number of apples. We can label that number of apples as variable “a”, so we say that her mom got 2a, she got 3a and her dad got 1a (so, i.e, her mom got twice as many apples as her dad, and she for thrice as many).

In total, she gave away (to her mom, dad and herself) 2a + 3a + 1a, which is 6a in total. To find how many apples each person got, we have to find the original number of apples (“a”), with the following equation:

6a = 18 (6a is the total number of apples, since she gave away all 18)
Divide the whole eqtn by 6:
a = 18/6
a = 3
Each person got 3 apples, so her dad got 3, her mom 6, and she herself got 9. We can check: 9+6+3=18

Answer:

x = -15/2

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we will simply use equation properties to solve for x.

2x - 5 = -20

2x - 5 + 5 = -20 + 5

2x = -15  ( Add positive 5 to both sides )

2x * (1/2) = -15 * (1/2)

x = -15/2  ( Multiply both sides by 1/2)

Hence, the solution to x is -15 / 2.

Cheers.

Express the solution graphically of – }(2x + 1) < 3.
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The third one counting from the top.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the inequality:

(-1/3)*(2x + 1) < 3

The first thing we need to do is isolate x on one side of the inequality.

First we can by -3 in both sides of the inequality, and remember, because we are multiplying by a negative number, the inequality sign changes its direction:

(-3)*(-1/3)*(2x + 1) > 3*(-3)

(2x + 1) > -9

Now we can subtract 1 in both sides:

2*x + 1 - 1 > -9 - 1

2*x > -10

Now we can divide by 2 in both sides:

2*x/2 > -10/2

x > -5

Then we should see a number line such that all the points at the right of -5 are colored.

The correct option is the third one, counting from the top.

The double number line shows that 555 pounds of avocados cost \$9$9dollar sign, 9.
Mice21 [21]

Answer:  

1 pound of avocado costs $1.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is just a simple division problem. We jest need to divide the given values to get the answer. For our problem, to know the price of 1 pound of avocado, we need to divide the $9 by 5 since the problem stated that the price of 5 pounds of avocados is $9.

Given:

5 pounds avocados = $9

Required:

cost of 1 pound of avocado

Solution:

$9 / 5 pounds = $1.8/pound

1 pound avocado = $1.8

Notice from the first line of solution, the unit became $ per pound. This means that we did the right operation since we are looking for the price per pound.

To check if we computed for the correct value, we should multiply $1.8 to 5. If the answer from doing this is $9, then our answer is correct.

Checking:

$1.8 * 5 = $9

Therefore, the cost of 1 pound of avocado is $1.8
