So in 5 acres of land produces 21,000 pounds of strawberries.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
Last year, 
acres i.e 3.5 acres produced 14,700 pounds of strawberries. So we need to determine how many strawberries were produced per acre.
To do this we divide the total number of strawberries produced by the number of acres it was produced in.
The number of strawberries produced per acre
pounds.
Step 2:
To determine the number of strawberries in 5 acres of land, we multiply the number of strawberries per acre by the number of acres.
The number of strawberries produced in 5 acres
pounds.
So in 5 acres of land produces 21,000 pounds of strawberries.
Answer: $11.48
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, you have to multiply 3.25 by 2.55 because the grapes are 2.55 per pound. That makes 8.2875 for the first occasion. Next, you have to multiply 1.25 by 2.55 for the second occasion. That makes 3.1875. You then have to add 8.2875 and 3.1875. You get 11.47500, and that rounded to the nearest cent is $11.48.
Answer:
0.75

Answer:1/2 y
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this using ration reasoning:
x
2
x
1
=
y
2
y
1
Explanation:
If
x
varies directly with
y
(written
x
∝
y
), then doubling
y
means doubling
x
, so the rations of final values and initial values will be the same:
x
2
x
1
=
y
2
y
1
In this case,
x
2
9
=
24
18
x
2
=
9
⋅
24
18
=
12
Or, intuitively, if
x
∝
y
and
x
=
9
when
y
=
18
, we can conclude that
x
=
1
2
y
and
1
2
of 24 is 12.
