Better deal normlly means the rate that cost less
rate=cost/amount
9=cost and 3/4 bushel = amount for one store
3/4=0.75
9/0.75=12/1 aka $12/1bushel
9 =cost and 2/3 bushel =amount for another
2/3=about 0.66666
9/0.66666=13.5/1 aka $13.5/1 bushell
compare
12 dollars per bushe vs 13.5 dollar per bushel
12 is cheaper
therefor $9 For 3/4 bushel is better deal
So here we're dealing with equivalent fractions.
It's really simple to find the answer, so I'll try to explain the best I can.
2 dogs / 5 cats is really just 2/5.
If we want to find an equivalent fraction, we have to multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number.
Currently the number of cats is 5, and we need it to be 140. What we need to do is find the number it has to be multiplied by to equal 140, which is 140 divided by 5. 140 divided by 5 is 28, so 5 x 28 = 140!
We need to multiply the denominator (5) by 28, so that we can get 140. What we have now is ?/140.
Like I said, to find an equivalent fraction, we need to multiply the numerator by the same number as we did the denominator, which is 28!
2 x 28 = 56.
So 2/5 is the same as 56/140.
The answer is D) 56 Dogs/140 Cats.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
AC 5
AB = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
AC = distance between the points
C-A = 3 - -2 = 3+2 = 5
The distance is 5
AB = distance between the points
B-A = 1 - -2 = 1+2 = 3
The distance is 3
Answer:
5 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
If in 1 inch have 2.54 centimeters, in 197 inches will have:
197×2.54 = 500.38 centimeters
If 100 centimeters are 1 meter, 500 centimeters will have 5 meters, so 197 inches have 5 meters
3x+4x+5x=54
12x=54
x=4.5
Plug in the value of x into all three segments.
AB= 3*4.5= 13.5
BC= 4*4.5= 18
AC= 5*4.5= 22.5
