Answer:
1/2 lb of pecans would cost $1.9
3 lbs of pecans would cost $11.4
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate given is 5 lb of pecans for $19
FIND THE UNIT RATE OF DOLLARS PER POUND OF PECANS BY:
19 ÷ 5 = 3.8
THE UNIT RATE IS $3.8 per pound of pecans.
Use unit rate to determine how much will the following amounts of pecans cost:
1/2 lbs
1/2 x 3.8 = $1.9
3 lbs
3 x 3.8 = $11.4
64
5/8= 40. 3/8= 24
1:4 of 40
1= 8. 1*8=8
Answer= 8
All you have to do is rotate the current dots, and bam.
Convert the 5 6/8 into a fraction
46/8
3/8+46/8=49/8
or
6 1/8
When you set up equations like this, look at the units for help. They cancel out during division and multiplication like numbers to give desired quantities. Rates can be reversed if need be (3 meters/sec or 1/3 sec/meter).
time × (distance / time) = distance
See.. time/time = 1; leaving distance
Subtract the rate of the opposing walkway...
t × (3 m/s - 1 m/s) = d
2t = d
Answer is then A.
