Step-by-step explanation:
step 1: how many dolphins
there are 6 sharks
sharks to dolphins is 3 to 5
3 S to 5 D
we can divide 6 (amount of sharks known) by 3, to get what a ratio of 1 is
6 ÷ 3 = 2
so 2 sharks is = 1 part or ratio
now we can times by 5 to get a ratio of 5
5 × 2 = 10
there are 10 Dolphins
Step 2: How many starfish
repeat the steps above but for the ratio 2: 7 where 2 is the Dolfin ratio and there are 10 dolphins
put in questions answer you got
Answer:cost of each pound of apple= $3
And cost of each pound of orange =$2
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Let cost of apples = x
And cost of Oranges =y
Let 6 pounds of apples and 3 pounds of oranges cost 24 dollars be represented as
6 x + 3y= 24----- equation 1
Also, Let 5 pounds of apples and 4 pounds of oranges cost 23 dollars be represented as
5x+ 4y= 23----- equation 2
Step 2
6 x + 3y= 24----- equation 1
5x+ 4y= 23----- equation 2
Using substitution method to solve the equation
6 x + 3y= 24
24-6x=3y
y= 24-6x/3 = 8-2x
Y= 8-2x
Substituting the value of y= 8-2x into equation 2
5x+ 4( 8-2x)= 23
5x+ 32 -8x= 23
32-23= 8x-5x
9=3x
x=9/3
x=3
Putting the value of x= 3 in equation 1 and solving to find y
6 x + 3y= 24
6(3) +3y= 24
18+3y=24
3y= 24-18
3y=6
y=6/3= 2
Therefore the cost of each pound of apple= $3
And cost of each pound of orange =$2
