1. It's a proportion...50 over 12.5 = h over 50 then cross multiply and divide
2. Another proportion 7over x = 2 over 6 then cross multiply and divide
24 divided by 6 plus 9 subtract 3 divide 2 =5
Given :
Fresh Farm: $4.50 for 5 lbs
Fruit Garden: $1/5 for 1/3 lb
Mother Nature: $4 for 5 lbs
Country Market: $0.85 per pound
To Find :
Which store offers the lowest unit rate for cantaloupes, in dollars per pound.
Solution :
Dollar per pound of each store :
Fresh Farm : 4.50/5 = $0.9 per pound
Fruit Garden: (1/5)/(1/3) = $0.6 per pound
Mother Nature: 4/5 = $0.8 per pound
Country Market: $0.85 per pound
From above we can see that Fruit Garden offers lowest unit rate.
Hence, this is the required solution.
Let's solve the equation step-by-step
Step 1) Simplify both sides of the equation
3+ j/11 = 2
1/11j+3=2
Step 2) Subtract 3 from both sides
1/11j + 3 - 3 = 2 - 3
1/11j = -1
Step 3) Multiply both sides by 11
11 x (1/11j) = (11) x (-1)
j = -11
Answer is.. J = -11
