<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

It is given that:

one pound of swordfish costs as much as 1.5 pounds of salmon.

Let x be the cost of one pound of salmon.

This means that the cost of one pound of swordfish is: 1.5x

Mrs. O pays $39 for 2 pounds of salmon and 3 pounds of swordfish.

This means that:

2x+3(1.5x)=39\\\\2x+4.5x=39\\\\6.5x=39\\\\x=\dfrac{39}{6.5}\\\\x=6

This means that cost of 1 pound of salmon= $ 6

Hence, cost of 2 pounds of salmon= $ 12  ( since, 6×2=12 )

and cost of 1 pound of swordfish= $ (1.5×6)= $ 9

Hence,

cost of 3 pound of swordfish= $ (9×3)=$ 27

  • Hence, ratio of amount of money she pays for salmon to the swordfish is:

                    12/27= 4/9

                         i.e.   4:9

  • and the ratio of  amount of money she pays for swordfish to the salmon is:

                         9:4

For every 2 pounds of salmon she pays for she will get 3 pounds of sword fish with it. 2 to 3 or 2/3 are different ways to Write a ratio for this problem.

Which expression could help you find the distance between (10, 4) and (–6, 4)? A. |10| + |–4| B. |10| + |4| C. |–6| + |4| D. |10
bazaltina [42]
It would be C because |-6| + |4| is basically 6+4 because the lines make the number positive. 6+4 is 10, which is the x value for the point. That 4 unites us the distance between the points.

The sum of the interior angles
klio [65]

Answer:

19 sides

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of angles of n-side polygon = 180 *(n - 2)

180 *(n -2) = 3060

Divide both sides by 180

n- 2 = 3060/180

n - 2 = 17

n = 17+2

n = 19
