Set up a proportion. 3.50 over 5 = x over 1 (x is what we are trying to find= the cost of 1 lb of apples)
Use cross products and multiply 3.50 by 1 to get 3.50 and then divide that by 5 to get 0.7.
So the apple cost 0.7 or seventy cents per pound.
Check: 0.7*5=3.5
That is correct!
Hope this helps!
Can u plz mark me as brainliest? I really need it!
5(x + 1)....distribute the 5 thru the parenthesis...that means multiply the 5 by everything in the parenthesis.
5(x + 1) = 5 * x + 5 * 1 = 5x + 5
