5/4=1.25
I'm not sure if you have to round it or not, but I think this would be exact!
Hope this helps!
By eating healthy and constantly working out
Let the shortest side be x. Then the other two sides will be x+1 and x+2.
Perimeter = P = sum of the lengths of all three sides = x + (x+1) + (x+2)
This perimeter = 4x -1 (1 less than 4 times the shortest side).
Then x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 4x - 1
or: 3x + 3 = 4x -1 Subtr. 3x from both sides:
3 = x - 1
x=4, x+1=5, and x+2=6
The 3 sides have lengths 4, 5 and 6.
Answer:
Apples and Peaches
Step-by-step explanation:
It is convenient to compare the prices for 3 lbs of each of the fruits.
Multiply the price and quantity of Apples by 4:
... 4×(3/4 lb) = 4×$1.59
... 3 lb = $6.36 . . . . for apples
Multiply the price and quantity of Plums by 6:
... 6×(0.5 lb) = 6×$1.15
... 3 lb = $6.90 . . . . for plums
The two lowest-priced fruits are apples (6.36/(3 lb)) and peaches (5.37/(3 lb)).

<em>Comment on</em> the best deal
No criteria are provided for determining the best deal. Though plums are higher-priced, they have somewhat higher polyphenol content than apples or peaches, so may provide the best deal in terms of nutrition per dollar.
