alright so you need to find the unit rate for both of these bought items.
5.25(5 1/4) pounds is equal to $2.10 if you set it into an equation
5.25x = $2.10
x represents how much is the price for one pound of banana
to find x you divide $2.10 by 5.25
you can either plug that into a calculator (.4 is the answer)
to divide a fraction
2.10 / 1 ÷ 21/4
switch the 21/4
2.10/1 ÷ 4/21
instead of using division to solve this you actually multiply!(don't ask me why)
2.10 × 4 = 8.4
21 × 1 = 21
now divide 8.4 by 21 = $0.4 for each pound of bananas
do the same on the other persons payment
3.25x = 6.5
x = 0.5
now you answer it. which one is cheaper?
Answer:
Sam's time was 1 hour and 6.66 minutes (or 1 and 1/9 hours)
Liam's time was was 1 hour
So in conclusion, Liam was faster
Step-by-step explanation:
We got Sam's time by 1/1 because Sam was walking 1 mph and the length to reach the top of the hill is 1 mile. So it would take Sam 1 hour to walk 1 mile. Walking down the hill Sam's speed was 9 mph. So the equation would be 1/9. So you would get 1/9. 1/9 of 60 is 6.66 repeating.
For Liam it is pretty simple. Since he is going up the hill at 2 mph and the length of the bottom of the hill to the top is 1 mile, it would be 30 minutes. Repeat this for the top to the bottom and in total it would be 1 hour.
Hope this helps
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
When we divide the entire equation by -1/2 to get rid of the coefficient of n we get n = 16.
That’s a lot of hot dogs. Where’s the rest of the problem?
