This is what your question asks. Usually, we want to know the individual costs of the items. If we multiply this total by 5, then we have the cost of 5 hotdogs and 5 hamburgers: 13.75. This $1.75 more than the cost of 5 hotdogs and 4 hamburgers, so the cost of a hamburger must be $1.75
... One hotdog costs $1.00
... One hamburger costs $1.75
Answer:
12/5
Step-by-step explanation:
His fish tank is 4 1/2 gallons of water. It takes him 1 7/8 minutes to fill it. So you need to find out how many gallons you can pour in 1 minute. You can eliminate A because he is filling more than 1 gallon per minute. You can divide 4.5 (4 1/2) by 1.875 (1 7/8). You get 2.4. Convert it back to a fraction, and you get 2 4/10. Simplify the fraction 2/5. Now convert it to an improper fraction. 12/5.
