Answer:

one pound of apple cost $2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount they both spent at the grocery store be y and x be the price of apples per pound.

Since Tara bought 5 pounds of apples, 5x = y (1) and Ashley bought 3 pounds of apples and $5 worth other groceries, 3x + 5 = y (2).

Equating both expressions, 5x = 3x + 5

collecting like terms,

5x - 3x = 5

2x = 5

dividing both sides by 2, we have

x = 5/2

x = 2.5

So one pound of apple cost $2.5

Fred is running on the school track. He can run 10 3 4 laps in 4 5 of an hour. How many laps can Fred run in one hour?
Triss [41]

Answer:

13\frac{7}{16} laps can Fred run in one hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Statement: Fred is running on the school track. He can run 10\frac{3}{4}  laps in \frac{4}{5}  of an hour.

Unit rate are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 3 feet per second or 7 miles per hour, they are called unit rates

From the given condition we have;

In \frac{4}{5} he can run \frac{43}{4} laps

Unit rate per hour = \frac{\frac{43}{4} }{\frac{4}{5} }

                              =\frac{43}{4} \times \frac{5}{4} = \frac{215}{16} laps

Therefore, Fred can run in one hour is, 13\frac{7}{16} laps.

Which expression is equivalent to the given expression? (3m-4)^3(3m^5)
BabaBlast [244]

Answer: D.

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to cube each term in the parentheses. When you take an exponent to an exponent, you just multiply them. You get (27m^-12). In order to get rid of that negative exponent, you should put a one over the m term and make -12, +12:

(\frac{27}{m^12} )(3m^5)

Multiply the numerators to get:

81m^5

You now have:

\frac{81m^5}{m^12}

When you divide exponents, you subtract them. 5 - 12 = -7

You have m^-7 which is the same as 1/m^7. Finally, mulitply that by the 81 we left out to get the answer of D.
