Answer:
Charly has the better buy
Step-by-step explanation:
The unit cost is
=16.8/7
=$2.4
Her friend Charles bought 5 pounds of pretzels at the supermarket for $12.75
Unit cost
=12.75/5
=$2.55
Charly got the best deal because the unit cost per item is less than that of the friend
12: 1.8= 20/3. => the answer is 20/3 miles
27+5= 32 total square feet.
32/4= 8 square feet per roll.
Answer: The common ratio is -1/3
-----------------------------------------------------------
Work Shown:
Pick any term to divide it by the previous term. I'm going to pick the second term and divide it by the first term.
r = common ratio
r = (term 2) divided by (term 1)
r = (4/9) divided by (-4/3)
r = (4/9) * (-3/4)
r = (4*(-3))/(9*4)
r = -12/36
r = -1/3
The common ratio is -1/3
This means you multiply each term by -1/3 to get the next term
For instance
term 2 = r*(term 1)
term 2 = (-1/3)*(-4/3)
term 2 = ((-1)*(-4))/(3*3)
term 2 = 4/9
