Question

The selling price of 3 cucumbers is $2.00

Answer 1

Answer:

The first blank is 9  for 9 cucumbers

The second blank is 8 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

3 cucumbers           x cucumbers

--------------------- = ----------------------

2 dollars                   6 dollars

Using cross products

3*6 = 2x

18 = 2x

Divide by 2

18/2 = 2x/2

9 =x

We need 9 cucumbers

For the third row

3 cucumbers           12 cucumbers

--------------------- = ----------------------

2 dollars                   y dollars

Using cross products

3*y = 2*12

3y = 24

Divide by 3

3y/3 = 24/3

y = 8

We need 8 dollars
