Answer:
Let's find unit price. 7.38 / 2 = 3.69 and 9.57 / 3 = 3.19. Since 3.19 < 3.69 the better buy is 9.57 for 3 pounds.
A ratio of 5:7 means out of 12 books, 5 are in one category and 7 are in another. (The “category” isn’t specified in this problem.)
So here we’re STARTING with 36 books; we want to find a ratio that is equal to 5:7 and adds up to 36. Well 36 = 3(12), and so if we multiply each number in the ratio by 3 as well, we might get what we want. Doing that gives us 15:21, which adds up to 36 and is equal to 5:7. Boom, that’s the answer.
P.S. Here’s a question you can think about: why do ratios stay the same when you multiply each number by the same amount? (For example, why is 3:1 the same as 6:2?)
A. 6x-y=1 can go to 6x-y-1=0 and then 6x-1 = y
