The answer is D (the last answer choice)
Answer: Irrational because cannot be turned into fractions
Step-by-step explanation:
Option D is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
Let A represent the cost of one bucket of apple and P represent the cost of one bucket of peaches.
So we have ,
4 buckets of apples and 5 buckets of peaches for $64
8 buckets of apples and 3 buckets of peaches for $72
Writing this in the equation form we have,
4A + 5P = 64
8A + 3P = 72
Step 2:
Solving for the above 2 equations we can get the required costs
Equation 1 is
4A + 5P = 64 , Multiplying this by 2 we have 8A + 10P = 128
Equation 2 = 8A + 3P = 72
Subtracting both we have , 7p = 56 = > P = 8
Substituting this in equation 1 we have
8A + 80 = 128 => A = 6
Hence the cost of one bucket of apple is $6 and the cost of one bucket of apple is $8.
Option D is the correct answer.
Easy Algebra question!
Let's use "x" as a variable.
The equation would be x+x+60 = 240 with "x" being George's weight.
Subtract 60 from both sides and you get 2x = 180.
From there you divide both sides by 2, getting x=90.
"x" is George's weight, so he weighs 90 pounds.
