Based on the two different purchases, you can write equations for the price of a hotdog (h) and that of a drink (d). These equations can be solved by your favorite method to find the individual prices.
... 6h +4d = 17.00 . . . . . . Carl's purchase
... 3h +4d = 12.50 . . . . . . Susan's purchase
We can see that the difference in purchase cost (of $4.50) is due entirely to the difference in the number of hotdogs (3). Thus, the price of a hotdog must be
... $4.50/3 = $1.50
The 4 drinks are then ($12.50 -4.50) = $8, so must be $2 each. You don't need to figure the cost of a drink to determine that the appropriate answer choice is ...
... D. $1.50 for a hot dog; $2.00 for a drink.
it is 3 because if it has infinte solutions than it is = to 0 and 1 and infinite solutions
Answer:
The numerator is 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
You would multiply the numerator by 5 as the denominator multiplies by 5.
Set them up like this example:
4 8
_ = _
6 12
cross multiply by multiplying 4 by 12 and 6 by 8.
If they are equal then it is proportional.
