Answer:

  $1 per person

Step-by-step explanation:

The per-person cost (x) can be found from the proportion ...

  x/(0.5 lb) = $8/(4 lb)

Multiplying by 0.5 gives ...

  x = (0.5 lb) × ($8 /(4 lb)) = $1 . . . . . . units of lb cancel

The cost per person will be $1.

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

  • length: 30 ft
  • width: 10 ft

The description of the garden fits that of 3 squares arranged side-by-side. The area of each of those would be 100 ft², so their side length would be ...

  s = √A= √(100 ft²) = 10 ft

This dimension is the width of the garden, whose length is 3 times this amount.

The length and width of the garden are 30 ft and 10 ft, respectively.

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

6 apples and 5 bananas

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 11

x = 11 - y

1.75x + 0.70y = 14

1.75(11 - y) + 0.7y = 14

19.25 - 1.75y + 0.7y = 14

5.25 = 1.05y

y = 5

x = 11 - 5 = 6
