Answer:
Unit rate is $7 per pound.
6 pounds will cost $42
You can buy 10 pounds for $70
Step-by-step explanation:
28/4 = $7 --> Unit rate is $7 per pound.
7 × 6 = $42 --> 6 pounds will cost $42
70/7= 10 --> You can buy 10 pounds for $70
To simplify a fraction, divide numerator and denominator by
their greatest common factor.
The greatest common factor of 5 and 20 is 5 .
5/20 = 1 / 4
Answer:
131.3 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The two cars are moving from different directions. The total distance between the two cars = 118 miles + 256 miles = 374 miles.
Let us assume that the two cars meet at point O, let the distance between car c and O be d₁, the distance between car d and point O be d₂, hence:
d₁ + d₂ = 374 miles (1)
Let speed of car d be x mph, therefore speed of car c = 2x mph (twice of car d). If it take the cars t hours to meet at the same point, hence
For car c:
2x = d₁/t
t = d₁ / 2x
For car d;
x = d₂/t
t = d₂/ x
Since it takes both cars the same time to meet at the same point, therefore:
d₁/2x = d₂ / x
d₁ = 2d₂
d₁ - 2d₂ = 0 (2)
Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously gives d₁ = 249.3 miles, d₂ = 124.7 miles
Therefore the distance from point of meet to Boston = 249.3 - 118 = 131.3 miles
The unit rate for 'y' is 1/8 per x .
The unit rate for 'x' is 8 per y .
