Answer:
8 lb of flounder at $2.50/lb
4 lb of shrimp at $5.00/lb
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A be the pounds of shrimp
Let B be the pounds of flounder
Let C be the cost per pound of flounder
A + B = 12
A = 12 - B
BC = 20
A(2C) = 20
BC = A(2C)
BC = (12 - B)(2C)
BC = 24C - 2BC
3BC = 24C
3B = 24
B = 8 lb
A + 8 = 12
A = 4 lb
The answer is 20 because if you divide 15:20 by 5, you get 3:4. hope this helps!

If Aneesha travels at a rate of
50 miles............................1h
and 1mile=5280ft, therefore 50 miles = 264000 ft
and 1 h =3600 seconds we can say that Aneesha travels
264,000 ft in 3600 seconds or
264,000/3600= 73.33 ft/s
Morris travels 3 ft per second less than her
so 73.33-3=70.33 ft/s for Morris
