Question

One pound of grapes costs $1. 55. Which equation correctly shows a pair of equivalent ratios that can be used to find the cost of 3. 5 pounds of grapes? StartFraction 1. 55 over 1 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 3. 5 EndFraction StartFraction 1. 55 over 1 EndFraction = StartFraction 3. 5 over x EndFraction StartFraction 1 over 1. 55 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 3. 5 EndFraction StartFraction x over 1. 55 EndFraction = StartFraction 1 over 3. 5 EndFraction.

Answer 1

Answer:

  (a)  StartFraction 1.55 over 1 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 3.5 EndFraction

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of cost to weight will be the same for the various ratios that make up the proportion:

  $\dfrac{1.55}{1}=\dfrac{x}{3.5}$
