Answer: (3,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
I think the answer would be c
P = w * .6
Explanation: First, we must determine the price per pound of watermelon. To do this, we take the cost of the watermelons, and divide it by the number of pounds. 4.38 / 7.3, which is .6. This tells us each pound costs 60 cents, or $.6. We’re trying to say “The total price of watermelon would be the amount of watermelon bought times .6.” Plug in the variables you’re given, and you get p = w * 6.
A person drives 500 miles in 5 hours.
Using the cross product property on this proportion gives us the following equation:
20 (2x - 9) = 10 (9)
Use the distributive property and multiply
40x - 180 = 90
Add 180 to both sides
40x = 270
Divide 40 from both sides
x = 270/40
Simplify fraction
x = 27/4
This should be your answer. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
