Answer:
The correct unit price is $1.17 per pair of gloves. The error is she used number of dozens so, firstly convert it to number of pairs of gloves then divide.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given 4 dozen pairs of gloves for $56.16.
So, unit price = Divide the price by number of pairs of gloves.
And 1 dozen =12
So 4 dozen =4*12=48 pairs of gloves
So, to find unit rate divide 56.16 by 48.
Unit price =
So, the error is she didn't convert the dozen to units.
That made mistake in finding unit price.

Answer:
y/x = 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
y ∝ x
change ∝ to = by adding constant k or c
y = kx
Divide both sides by x
y/x = k, also k = y/x
Input the values
k = (7 1/2)/3. Change 7 1/2 to improper fraction to give 15/2
k = (15/2)/3
k = 
÷ 3
Change the division sign to multiplication which will change 3 to its inverse(1/3)
k = × 
k = 
Divide the numerator and denominator by 3 to get 5/2
k = 5/2
From y/x = k,input k into the eqn
y/x = 5/2
y/x = 2.5

Answer:
10 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The midsegment length is the average of the other two lengths.
(QR +PS)/2 = TU
QR +PS = 2×TU . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 2
QR = 2×TU -PS = 2(14 ft) -18 ft . . . subtract PS; substitute given values
QR = 10 ft
(a) 95 = (x+7)*(x-7)
(b) 95 = (x+7)*(x-7)
Expand the brackets:
95 = x² -7x + 7x -49 = x² - 49
Subtract x² from both sides:
95-x² = -49
Subtract 95 from both sides:
-x²=-49-95
-x²= -144
Divide both sides by -1 to get rid of the negative numbers:
-x²/-1=-144/-1
x²=144
Take the square root of 144:
x = ± squareroot of 144
x = 12 or -12
x = 12 because you cannot have a negative age so Trina is 12 years old.
