Answer:

$16 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the price per pound.

Therefore, we must divide the cost by the pounds.

$\frac{cost}{pounds}$

We know it costs $144 for 9 pounds of pears. Therefore, $144 is the cost and there are 9 pounds.

$\frac{\$144}{9 pounds}$

Divide.

$\$16 /pound$

It costs $16 for each pound of pears.

The two right triangular prisms are similar solids.

Zanzabum

Answer:

<h2>The volume of the larger prims is eight times greater than the smaller prism.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If the scale factor of the larger prims to the smaller prism is 3, that means each side is triple.

We know the a triangular prims has a volume defined by

$V_{small} =\frac{b \times h_{1} }{2} \times h_{2}$

If we take that formula as the smaller prism, then the larer prism has a volum of

$V_{large} =\frac{2b \times 2h_{1} }{2} \times 2h_{2}=8(\frac{b \times h_{1} \times h_{2} }{2} )$

If we compare, we can deduct that

$V_{large}=8V_{small}$

In words, the volume of the larger prims is eight times greater than the smaller prism.

( x - 1) ( 2x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

It's actually the other way round.

2x^2- + x - 3

( 2x^2 - 2x) + (3x-3)

2x ( x-1 ) + 3( x-1)

( x - 1)(2x+3)

Its the other way around

Jlenok [28]

Question:

Suppose that the populations of the United States and China both increase by 12 million people in one year. What would be the relative change for each country? Answer to the nearest tenth of a percent (1 decimal place). Make sure that you fill in each answer area before checking "How Did I Do?".

If you assume that the U.S. population is about 300 million, an increase of 12 million would result in a relative change of Number %.

If you assume that China has about 1 billion people, an increase of 12 million would result in a relative change of Number %.

Answer:

The relative change of the United States and China is 4% and 1.2%, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent population with p. So, we have:

United States

$\triangle p = 12\ million$
