It’s easier than you think, just don’t overthink it. You’re fine.
I think I’m right, but here;
5/6 + 2-2/3 = 3 1/2
Then you subtract how much the person used,
2-2/3 - 1-1/3 = 1 - 1/3 or 1.3333333 (repeated)

I think. It came out as a repeated decimal, but I just put it in fraction form.

I hope this helped :]

Leyan bought 234 pounds of apples for $1.32 per pound, 112 pounds of peaches for $1.20 per pound, and some tomatoes, all from a
velikii [3]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

I think your question isn't well written and that 234 was meant to be 2.34 and 112 was meant to be 1.12

Let the amount spent on tomatoes be x.

The information given in the question can then be used to form an equation as thus:

Apples + Peaches + Tomatoes = $9.63

(2.34 × $1.32) + (1.12 × $1.20) + x = $9.63

$3.0888 + $1.344 + x = $9.63

x = $9.63 - ($3.0888 + $1.344)

x = $9.63 - $4.4328

x = $5.1972

The amount spent on tomatoes will be $5.1972

The human population doubles approximately every 50 years if there were 2.5 million people in 1950 how many people are forecaste
Margarita [4]
The equation that would let us determine the number of people or population at a certain year is calculated through the equation,

    A(t) = A(o)(2^(t - 1950)/50)

Substituting the known values,

   A(t) = (2.5 million people)(2^(2100 - 1950)/50))

   A(t) = 20 million 

<em>Answer: 20 million people</em>
