Answer: $7.6502
Step-by-step explanation:
Grape cost $1.19 per pound. 3.16 pounds are bought. The total amount paid for grape will be:
= $1.19 × 3.16
= $3.7604
Peaches cost $1.29 per pound. 1.35 pounds are bought. The total amount paid for peaches will be:
= $1.29 × 1.35
= $1.7415
Peers cost $0.99 per pound. 2.17 pounds are bought. The total amount paid for pears will be:
= $0.99 × 2.17
= $2.1483
Total bill paid will be:
= $3.7604 + $1.7415 + $2.1483
= $7.6502
Answer:
centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
The numerator of the conversion factor always has the "to" units. The denominator has the "from" units. That way, when you multiply, the "from" units cancel:
(xx <em>from</em>) · (yy <em>to</em>)/(zz <em>from</em>) = xx·yy/zz · (<em>from/from</em>) · <em>to</em> = xx·yy/zz · <em>to</em>
Here, you want to convert to centimeters, so centimeters will be the units in the numerator.
10 in · (2.54 cm)/(1 in) = 25.4 cm
_____
The conversion factor is always "1". That is, the numerator and denominator are always <u>equal</u> in value. Here, 2.54 cm = 1 in, so (2.54 cm)/(1 in) = 1. You can multiply by 1 anytime you like. For units conversion, it only has the effect of changing the units.
<span>B. 16 quarts of the 2% milk and 24 quarts of the 7% milk
First, let's create an equation to solve.
x = quarts of 2% milk
(40-x) = quarts of 7% milk
So we have the equation
x*2 + (40-x)*7 = 40*5
Now to solve for x
x*2 + (40-x)*7 = 40*5
x*2 + 7*40 - 7*x = 40*5
x*2 - 7*x = 40*5 - 7*40
-5*x = - 2*40
x = 2*8
x = 16
So we need 16 quarts of 2% milk and 40-16 = 24 quarts of 7%, which matches option "B".</span>
