Answer:

8 apples for $10.24 as your getting more apples for almost the same price.

Step-by-step explanation:

$6.25 divided by 5 is $1.25 so that would be $1.25 per apple

$10.24 divided by 8 is $1.28 so that would be $1.28 per apple

Answer:

5 apples for 6.25 dollars is the better deal.

Step-by-step explanation:

I set both deals as a ratio and cross multiplied them with X/1 to get how much each apple would cost per one apple. The first deal ended up being cheaper with 1.25 dollars per apple. The more expensive deal was 1.28 dollars per apple. Therefore 5 apples for 6.25 dollars is the better deal.

The point (-7, -24) is on the terminal ray of angle θ which is in standard position. A student found the six trigonometric value

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The $\sin \theta, \tan \theta, \csc \theta, \cot \theta$ have the wrong values.

Step-by-step explanation:

The point (-7,-24) lies in the third quadrant, where the only tangent function will have a positive value and all the other trigonometric functions are negative.

The origin has a distance from the point is $\sqrt{(- 7)^{2} + (- 24)^{2}} = 25$ .
