Answer:

(a) \frac{5}{4}

(b) $ 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The number of pounds of ham bought = 1.25,

(a) Thus, the fraction of a pound bought = \frac{\text{number of pounds bought}}{\text{1 pound}}

=\frac{1.25}{1}

=\frac{125}{100}

=\frac{5}{4}

(b) We have,

The cost of ham of 1 pound = $ 5.20,

So, the amount spend on ham = the fraction of a pound bought × price per pound

= \frac{5}{4}\times 5.20

= 5 × 1.3

= $ 6.5

Suppose j varies jointly with g and v, and j=1 when g=4 and v=5. what is j when g=10 and v=9?
Tems11 [23]
J\alpha gv
j=agv where a is a constant of proportionality.
j=1 when g=4 and v=5
1=a*4*5
1=20a
a=1/20
a= 0.05
j=0.05gv
When g=10 and v=9,
j=0.05*10*9
j=0.5*9
j=4.5

A plot of land has an area of 33.75 square feet. Jackson wants to put a 4-foot by 4-foot shed on the land. He can only do this i
Semenov [28]
The area of a trapezoid is
A = (1/2) h (b1 + b2)
where
h is the height
b1 is length of base 1
b2 is the length of base 2

We are given with the area and assuming that the trapezoid is isosceles, the length of base 1 is
b1 = 4 ft
If the height of the trapezoid is 4.5 feet, it ensures that the shed will fit inside the trapezoid patch of land. Therefore, the height of the trapezoid is 4.5 feet.
