Answer:

The cost of one ounce of cereal is $0.24

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Amount of cereals a box contain = 23.4 ounces

Cost of one box = $5.94

Cost of cereal per ounce =

Formula:

$\text{Cost of one ounce of cereal} = \\\\\displaystyle\frac{\text{Cost of cereal}}{\text{Amount of cereal in a box}}$

Putting the values, we have:

$\text{Cost of one ounce of cereal} = \displaystyle\frac{5.49}{23.4} = 0.2347 \approx 0.24$

Hence, the cost of one ounce of cereal is $0.24

So in a proportion 23.4 over 5.49 equals 1 over o and multiply 5.49•1=23.4o
5.49=23.4o divide by 23.4 on both sides and that equals 4.26 per oz

Use the following statements to find a compound statement for (p∨q)∧rp∨q)∧r p: 5<-3 q: All vertical angles are congruent. r:

Given the compound statement <span>(p∨q)∧r
where: p: 5 < -3
q : All vertical angles are congruent.
r: 4x = 36, then x = 9.

Recall the in logic, '</span>∨' symbolises "or" while '∧' symbolises "and".

Therefore, the compound statement <span>(p∨q)∧r can be written as follows:
Either 5 < -3 or all vertical angles are congruent, and if 4x = 36, then x = 9.
