Answer:

3 11/16 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Lynne bought a bag of grapefruit, 1 5/8 pounds of apples, and 2 3/16 pounds of bananas. The total weight of her purchases was 7 1/2 pounds. How much did the bag of grapefruit weigh?'

The Total weight = Weight of grape fruits + Weight of Apples + Weight of Bananas

Let the weight of the grape fruit = x

7 1/2 = x + 1 5/8 + 2 3/16

x = 7 1/2 - (1 5/8 + 2 3/16)

Lowest Common Denominator = 16

x= 7 1/2 - 3 + ( 10+ 3/16)

x = 7 1/2 - 3 + (13/16)

x = 7 1/2 - 3 13/16

Lowest Common Denominator = 16

x= 4 (8 - 13/16)

x = 4 (-5/16)

x = 3 11/16 pounds

Therefore, the bag of grapefruits weighed 3 11/16 pounds

On a recent trip to the convenience store, you picked up 3 gallons of milk, 5 bottles of water, and 6 snack-size bags of chips.
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

the cost of each bag at chips  is $0.75

the cost of bottle is $1.50

The cost of gallon of milk is $3.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the cost of each bag at chips be x

For the cost of bottle it would be 2x

And for cost of gallon of milk be 2x + 2

The total cost is $22.50

Now the equation would be

3(2x +2)  + 5(2x)  + 6x = $22.50

6x + 6 + 10x + 6x = $22.50

22x = $16.50

x = $0.75

So cost of each bag at chips would be $0.75

For the cost of bottle be

= $0.75 × 2

= $1.50

And, for the cost of gallon of milk be

= 1.50  + 2

= $3.50
