Answer:

Unit cost: $2.50 per potato

Set up a proportion:

<h2><u>5 potatoes</u> = <u>x potatoes</u></h2><h2>2 dollars 1 dollar</h2><h2 />

cross multiply:

2x = 5

divide by 2 on both sides

x= 5/2 or 2.5

The variable “x” can be defined as the price of regular gas.
The equation is x = x - (.02)7
x = x - (.02)7
(.02)7 = .14
x = x - .14
X - X = nothing so it just leaves you with -.14
The answer is that the gas price changed by a total of - 14 cents or -0.14

Determine whether the fractions 3 4 and 4 5 are equivalent. Question content area bottom Part 1 Select the correct choice below

VMariaS [17]

Answer: Choice A

The fractions are not equivalent because the product of the numerator of the first fraction and the denominator of the second fraction is <u> 15 </u> , which is not equal to the product of the numerator of the second fraction and the denominator of the first fraction <u> 16 </u>

===================================================

Explanation:

We have the template $\frac{P}{Q} = \frac{R}{S}$ which cross multiplies to $PS = QR$

So if $\frac{3}{4} = \frac{4}{5}$ was true, then $3*5 = 4*4$ must be true as well, and vice versa.

The left side 3*5 turns into 15, while the right hand side 4*4 becomes 16. The 15 and 16 don't match up.

In short, $3*5 = 4*4$ turns into $15 = 16$ which is a false statement. So the original claim that $\frac{3}{4} = \frac{4}{5}$ is also false.
