Hey there!

To solve this, divide the numbers 1/2 and 4 . . .

1/2 = 1/2

4 = 4/1

1 x 1 = 1

2 x 4 = 8

The fraction 1/8 is already in it's simplest form, so it does not need to be simplified.

1/8 pounds of grapes can be shared equally among the 4 friends.

Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!

Divide amount of grapes by number of people.

= 1/2 lb ÷ 4 people

to divide a fraction, multiply by the reciprocal (inverse)

= 1/2 * 1/4
= (1*1)/(2*4)
= 1/8 pound

ANSWER: Each of the 4 people will get 1/8 pound of grapes.

Hope this helps! :)

Using a system of equations, it is found that the unit prices are:

$2.25 for a bag of chips.

$1.50 for a liter of pop.

$1.75 for a chocolate bar.

For the system:

x is the unit price of a bag of chips.

y is the unit price of liter of pop.

z is the unit price for a chocolate bar.

From the table, the equations are:

$2x + 2y + z = 9.25$

$3x + 4y + z = 14.50$

$x + 3y + 3z = 12$

Replacing the <u>first equation on the second and the third:</u>

$z = 9.25 - 2x - 2y$

$3x + 4y + z = 14.50$

$3x + 4y + 9.25 - 2x - 2y = 14.50$

$x + 2y = 5.25$

$x = 5.25 - 2y$

$x + 3y + 3z = 12$

$x + 3y + 3(9.25 - 2x - 2y) = 12$

$-5x - 3y = -15.75$

$5x + 3y = 15.75$

Since $x = 5.25 - 2y$ :

$5(5.25 - 2y) + 3y = 15.75$

$-7y = -10.5$

$y = \frac{10.5}{7}$

$y = 1.5$

Then:

$x = 5.25 - 2y = 5.25 - 2(1.5) = 2.25$

$z = 9.25 - 2x - 2y = 9.25 - 2(2.25) - 2(1.5) = 1.75$

The unit prices are:

$2.25 for a bag of chips.

$1.50 for a liter of pop.

$1.75 for a chocolate bar.
