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

Popcorn kernels pop independently (i.e. unimolecularly). For one brand at constant temperature, 12 kernels pop in 5 seconds when
likoan [24]

Answer:

no of kernels  pop = 4.34

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

kernels pop in 5 second  = 12

kernels are present = 235

solution

we get here kernels are pop at rate of here

kernels are pop at rate = 12  ÷  235  

kernels are pop at rate = 0.051063

and

we get here maximum kernels are remaining that is

maximum kernels remaining = 235 - 140

maximum kernels remaining = 85

so

no of kernels  pop in 5 second will be

no of kernels  pop = 0.051063   × 85

no of kernels  pop = 4.34

Find sin theta if cot theta =-4 and cos theta < 0
asambeis [7]
Imagine the unit circle. The cot(theta) is a line from (0,1) to (-4,1). Imagine it is part of a triangle with the origin (draw it!).

Then the hypotenuse length is √(1+4²) = √17.

The sine rule says that sin(90)/√17 must equal sin(theta)/4, and sin(90)=1, so

sin(\theta) = \frac4{\sqrt{17}}
