Answer:

$2.24 / lb

Step-by-step explanation:

$1 = 100 cents

16 oz = 1 lb

14 cents/oz *\frac{1 dollar}{100 cents}*\frac{16oz}{1lb}

Simplified,

\frac{14 *16}{100}

\frac{224}{100} = $2.24/ lb

<h3>The answer that goes in the blank is 2.24     </h3>

==================================================

Explanation:

There are various was to do this. One way is using what some math books may call the "rail road tracks method". If you look below at the attached image (specifically figure 1), you'll probably see why the method is called this. The black straight lines form a "railroad" track of sort

The first column has "14 cents" over "1 ounce" to represent "14 cents per ounce".

The next column over has "16 ounces" over "1 pound". This is used to help convert from ounces to pounds. Recall that 1 pound = 16 ounces.

Finally, the last column has "1 dollar" over "100 cents", which is handy to convert from cents to dollars.

Figure 1 of the attached image is the original setup. Figure 2 is where I've crossed off the units that cancel out. What's left over are "dollars" over "pounds" which is what we want of having "dollars per pound" as the final unit.

--------------

Across the top row, multiply the values out: 14*16*1 = 224

Do the same for the bottom row: 1*1*100 = 100

Then divide the two results: 224/100 = 2.24

--------------

Therefore, 14 cents per ounce converts to 2.24 dollars per pound.

Lelechka [254]

Visualize the image in your mind and you can see that it forms a right angled triangle with a base,altitude and hypotenuse

base=2 feet

hypotenuse(ladder)=13 ft

We need to find the altitude,

By applying pythagoras theorem,

base square+altitude square=hypotenuse square

Take altitude as x

2 square+x square=13 square

4+x square=169

x square=169-4

x square=165

x= root of 165

x=12.8 feet(approx.)

A cash box of $1 and $5 bills is worth $45. The number of $1 bills is three more than the number of $5 bills. How many of each b
Softa [21]

Answer:

  • 7 $5 bills
  • 10 $1 bills

Step-by-step explanation:

If we take out the extra $3, we can group the bills into one each of $5 and $1, for a value of $6. There will be 7 such groups in the remaining $42.

That means there are 7 bills of the $5 denomination, and 3 more than that (10 bills) of the $1 denomination.

There are 7 $5 bills and 10 $1 bills.

_____

If you want to write an equation, it is usually best to let a variable stand for the most-valuable contributor. Here, we can let x represent then number of $5 bills. Then the value of the cash box is ...

  5x +(x+3) = 45

  6x = 42 . . . . . . . . subtract 3, collect terms

  x = 7 . . . . . . . . . . . there are 7 $5 bills

  x+3 = 10 . . . . . . . . there are 10 $1 bills

You may notice that this working parallels the verbal description above. (After we subtract $3, x is the number of $6 groups.)
