Find the unit rate for each

$8.31/3 pounds= $2.77 per pound

$12.95/5 pounds= $2.59 per pound

Final answer: The second option is better because you are paying less per pound (2.59<2.77).

We can find the answer by dividing each price by the amount of pounds and then seeing which number is bigger. Lets try...

8.31/3=2.77

12.95/5=2.59

Since the 12.95 deal allows you to get one pound for just 2.59, that is the better deal.

Hope this helps!

Julio wants to find the volume of a small pebble. He drops it into a graduated cylinder filled with 30.0 mL of water.
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

By calculating water displacement

Step-by-step explanation:

Because Julio knows the volume of water in the graduated cylinder, by dropping the pebble in, he can record the new volume of both the water and pebble. Subtracting the volume of the water from the volume of both will leave him with the volume of the pebble. This technique is water displacement.

Leo and her on spent 3/4 hour shopping 5/6 hour preparing the pizzas and 11/12 hour cleaning up after the party how many minutes
Aneli [31]

Answer:

150 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to express all these fractions of an hour in minutes, then add them and get the total of minutes.

To pass these numbers in hours to minutes, we only have to multiply by 60 because one hour has 60 minutes.

3/4 h =

3/4 * 60 = 45m

5/6 h =

5/6 * 60 = 50m

11/12 h =

11/12 * 60 = 55m

to calculate the total number of minutes we have to add the 3 values ​​that we have

45m + 50m + 55m = 150m

Find the percent of markup round to the nearest tenth
Ilya [14]

The first step in solving this problem is to compute the amount of markup. You can do this by deducting the original price to the marked up price.

$70.00 - $35.50 = $34.50

To get the percent of markup, you have to divide the amount of markup to the original price.

$34.50 / $35.50 = 97.2%
