Answer:
Let the cost of orange be X and cost of cherry be y
3x + 9y = 78
8x + 4y = 58
Solving equation using elimination method
multiplying eq 1 with 8 and eq 2 with 3
8(3x + 9y ) = 78(8)
3( 8x + 4y) = 3(58)
24x + 72 y = 624
24x + 12y = 174
subtracting,
60 y = 450
y = 7.5
3x + 9(7.5) = 78
3x + 67.5 = 78
3x = 78 - 67.5
3x = 10.5
x = 3.5
<h2>Box of orange = $3.5 </h2><h2>Box of cherry = $7.5</h2>

Answer: Rob ate more crackers.
Symbol answer: 6/12 < 9/12
Step-by-Step explanation:
Common knowledge: Anytime you have the same numerator, with a different denominator, the one with the bigger denominator is always smaller. For example, if had a pizza with 6 slices and a pizza with 4 slices, the one with 6 slices and smaller and the one with 4 slices and bigger. Even though 6>4 that mindset has to change when thinking about a problem like this.
<em>Another explanation: </em>
<em>If you still don’t get it, simply find a common denominator, so we’ll choose 12. Take 3/6 and multiply that by 2/2 so you get 6/12 and then take 3/4 and multiply that by 3/3 on both the (numerator and denominator) and that equals 9/12.</em>
<em>So now you have the expression: 6/12<9/12.</em>
