Answer:

Gina spent $0.02 more than Amy

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Calculate how much money Gina spent multiplying the number of pounds of peaches by the cost per pound at the grocery store:

2.5*1.38=3.45

2. Calculate how much money Amy spent multiplying the number of pounds of peaches by the cost per pound on the local farmer´s market:

3.5*0.98=3.43

3. Calculate how much more money spent Gina at the grocery store subtracting the values:

3.45-3.43=0.02

Therefore Gina spent $0.02 more than Amy.

If y varies directly as x, and y is 48 when x is 6, which expression can be used to find the value of y when x is 2?
sertanlavr [38]

y = ( 48 *2 ) / 6

Step-by-step explanation:

If y varies directly as x they are directly proportional, which means they relate to each other in the same way....

2 : y = 6: 48

what is y if x = 2?

The value of y can be found if you write it a two fracrions

2 : y = 6 : 48

2 / y = 6 / 48

cross multiply the fractions gives

6*y = 48 *2

divide left and right of the = sign by 6 gives the answer:

y = ( 48 *2 ) / 6

(if you solve it you get y = 12 but that was not the question).

Other method:

multiply left and right of the = sign by y

2 * y/y = y *6 / 48

6y / 48 = 2 * 1

multiply left and right of the = sign by 48

6y * 48/48 = ( 48 *2 )

6y = ( 48 *2 )

divide left and right of the = sign by 6

6/6* y = ( 48 *2 )/6

y = ( 48 *2 ) / 6

(if you solve it you get y = 12 but that was not the question).
