Cereal A
10 ounces = $5.90
10/10 ounces = $5.90/10 .... divide both sides by 10
1 ounce = $0.59
1 ounce = 59 cents
----------
Cereal B
24 ounces = $6.48
24/24 ounces = $6.48/24 .... divide both sides by 24
1 ounce = $0.27
1 ounce = 27 cents
We see that Cereal B is the cheaper deal per ounce
---------
<h3>Answer: Cereal B is the better deal</h3>
300 miles.
1 inch is 200 miles
half an inch is 100 miles
200 plus 100 equals 300 miles
The dog weighs 12 lbs.
The cat weighs 2/3 as much as the dog
- Divide 12 by 3
= 4
- Then multiply by 2
= 8
His cat weighs 8 pounds.
Please, do not post more than 1 or 2 questions at a time. Out of courtesy I will address one of your six questions here:
<span>2x + 4 = 3(x – 2) + 1
You are to solve this for x.
1) perform the multiplication: </span><span>2x + 4 = 3x - 6 + 1
2) combine like terms: 4+6-1 = x
3) solve for x: x = 11
4) check: Is 2(11) + 4 = 3(11-2) + 1 true?
Is 22+4 = 33-6 true? NO. Try again, looking for the mistake:
</span><span>2x + 4 = 3(x – 2) + 1 => 2x + 4 = 3x - 6 + 1
4 = x - 5
9 = x
Check: Is 2(9) + 4 = 3(9-2) + 1 true? Is 18+4 = 22 true? YES.
The solution to #1 is x = 9 (answer).
Submit your other questions separately, please.
