Answer: 2 lbs of cherries
Cherries = $5 per pound
Oranges = $2 per pound
Total Cost = $18
Total weight = 6 lb
------------------------------------
Define x and y
------------------------------------
Let x be the number of lb of cherries
Let y be the number of lb of oranges
------------------------------------
Construct equations
------------------------------------
x + y = 6 ---------------------------- (1)
5x + 2y = 18 ---------------------------- (2)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x and y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
From equation (1):
x + y = 6
x = 6 - y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute x = 6 - y into equation 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5x + 2y = 18
5 (6 - y) + 2y = 18
30 - 5y + 2y = 18
3y = 30 - 18
3y = 12
y = 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = 4 into equation (1)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 6
x + 4 = 6
x = 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the weight of cherries and oranges
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cherry = x = 2 lb
Oranges = y = 4 lbs
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Alex bought 2 lb of cherries
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
42 units^2.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that it is a rectangle so its area is the product of the length of adjacent sides.
Length of the horizontal line = 11 - 4 = 7 units ( from the first 2 points) and the length of an adjacent side is 9 - 3 = 6 units (from the second and third points).
Area = 7 * 6 = 42.
X/4 = 4.3/2.5
x/4 = 1.72
x = 1.72 x 4
x = 6.88
100. When rounding to the hundreds place, you must consider the value of the digit in the tens place. If the digit in the tens place is 5 or greater, the digit in the hundreds place increases by 1. If the digit in the tens place is 4 or less the digit in the hundreds place remains the same. In this case, the number in the hundreds place was originally zero.
