Answer:
leftmost empty cell: ⅓
rightmost empty cell: 3
Step-by-step explanation:
✔️If 2 pounds grapes cost $6, then x pounds of grapes cost $1.
Thus;
2 : 6 = x : 1
2/6 = x/1
Multiply both sides by
²/6 × 1 = x/1 × 1
²/6 = x
¹/3 = x
x = ⅓
✔️If 2 pounds grapes cost $6, then 1 pound of grapes cost $x.
Thus;
2 : 6 = 1 : x
²/6 = ¹/x
Cross multiply
2x = 6
Divide both sides by 2
2x/2 = ⁶/2
x = 3
If you pour until the containers are each filled halfway, it will equal four cups.
2.5 cups + 1.5 cups = 4 cups
<span> 0.6x + 4.8 = 7.2
</span>⇔ 0.6x = 7.2 - 4.8
⇔ 0.6x = 2.4
⇔ x = 2.4 / 0.6
⇔ x = 4 <span>
