Answer:
D. 3.35
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to form an equation and solve it to find the number of weeks when the prices were the same. Because the prices were the same we can say that b = c, and therefore form the equation:
2.35 + 0.25x = 1.75 + 0.4x - Now we nee to solve it and find x.
2.35 - 1.75 = 0.4x - 0.25x
0.6 = 0.15x
x = 0.6 ÷ 0.15
x = 4 weeks
So now we substitute x into the equation for beef and find the price.
b = 2.35 + (0.25 × 4)
b = 2.35 + 1
b = $3.35 per pound
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
It means that every unit of mini boat requires 2 pounds of wood and 3 ounces of glue.
As such 3 pounds of wood can only be used to build one mini boat and there will be one pound of wood left. With 6 ounces of gold, the builder can build 2 boats (6/3).
However, the wood becomes the limiting factor that determines the number of mini-boats that can be made. Hence with 3 pounds of wood and 6 ounces of glue, the builder can only build a mini-boat.
Answer:
5 = x
Step-by-step explanation:
12x+40=15x+25
Subtract 12x from each side
12x-12x+40=15x-12x+25
40 = 3x +25
Subtract 25 from each side
40-25 = 3x+25-25
15 =3x
Divide by 3
15/3 =3x/3
5 = x
