To compare, think of the ratios as a fraction. so it is 32 slices per $7.99.
You can also say $7.99 per 32 slices.
so it can be  ̲7̲.̲9̲9̲ ̲   or the other way around.
                       32
To find the unit price, or the price of 1 item, you have to divide the price by the amount.
So 7.99 divided by 32 is <span>0.249687, but we don't have thousandths of a cent, so we round to the hundredth.
$0.25 is the unit price, or the price of 1 toast, rounded to the nearest cent.

So let's try another one, this time we have 2 different rates, and we will compare them.

So let's say we are buying cheese. Store A sells 12 blocks of cheese for $14.99, and Store B sells 20 blocks for $23.99.
So first we have to find the unit rate for each.

             Store A                                 Store B
         14.99 per 12                        23.99 per 20
                                         
             </span> ̲1̲4̲.̲9̲9̲ ̲                                  ̲2̲3̲.̲9̲9̲ ̲<span>
                 12                                         20

14.99 / 12 is </span>1.24916                    23.99 / 20 is <span>1.1995</span>
<span>$1.25, if rounded to the cent.    $1.20, if rounded to the cent
</span>1 block is $1.25 in Store A.         1 block is $1.20 in Store B

Store B sells for cheaper.

Hope that helps.

How do I answer this question
soldi70 [24.7K]

The answer is C. 2.

This is because the part that is inside of the parentheses is equal to 4. Multiplying the fractions in the numerator is equal to 4^\frac{3}{2}.

\frac{4^\frac{3}{2}}{4^\frac{1}{2}}=4., using the exponential rule 3/2-1/2=2/2 or 1. 4^1=4.

Now, we reduced the fraction, so all that is left is (4)^\frac{1}{2}. This is equal to 2.

So your answer is 2.

I hope this helps :)

SUPER EASY WILL GIVE BRAINLEIST IF DONE BEFORE 10 PM PLS HURRY. IF U HAVE TIME PLS HELP ME ON OTHER QUESTIONS THANK YOU &lt;3

Answer:

1. new perimeter = 4 times the old perimeter

2. The area will go up by a factor of 16

3. The new area is 1/9 of the original area.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. side length1 = x

side length2 = y

2x + 2y = perimeter

2(4x) + 2(4)y = new perimeter

8x + 8y = new perimeter

new perimeter = 4 times the old perimeter

2. The area will go up by a factor of 16. This is because the area formula has them being multiplied together and thus it will make the area go up by that much.

3. Let the length of the rectangle be x

Let width of rectangle be y

Area of rectangle =  L*W

Now Each side length of the rectangle is multiplied by 1/3

So, new area =  (1/3)L * (1/3)W

=(1/9)LW

So, the new area is 1/9 of the original area.

How to solve 45 45 90 triangle given hypotenuse?
statuscvo [17]
From the Special Triangle Theorem, the hypotenuse is equal to the side lengtht times the Sqrt(2).
So hypotenuse H = xSqrt(2), x=H/Sqrt(2).
Using numbers, if H = 7, then x = 7/Sqrt(2) = 7Sqrt(2)/2 to rationalize it.
