For the answer to the question above,
when you put it into a proportion it would be 2/24 = x/54
multiply 2 and 54 which equals 108
and multiply 24 and x which equals 24x
so you have 24x=108 divide 24x by 24 so you have x standing alone but what you do to one side you have to do to the other so divide 108 by 24 and get 4.5 which is 4 1/2 cups of flour.
So the answer is<span> 2/24 = x/54; x = 4 1/2 cups</span>
Answer:
The price of tomato per pound is $1.36
Step-by-step explanation:
Jordan has $5.37.
He is buying one red pepper for $1.29
He is also buying three pounds of tomatoes.
If he has exactly the right amount of money he needs, then
5.37 = 1.29 + 3x
Where x is the price of tomato per pound
And( 5.37 = 1.29 + 3x) is the equation to solve for x
5.37 = 1.29 + 3x
5.37-1.29 = 3x
4.08 = 3x
4.08/3 = x
1.36 = x
The price of tomato per pound is $1.36
To verify it again..
3*1.36 + 1.29
= 4.08 +1.29
= 5.37 ( which is the initial total amount)
The question is a bit confusing, but I'm assuming you are adding them all up, so the total sum would be 60 items :)
