Question
Answer:
Answer:13P=4lb : 3.25 peaches per pound,39p=12lb : 3.25 peaches per pound26p=13lb : 2 peaches per pound6p=19.5lb : 0.3077 peaches per pound15p=7.5lb : 2 peaches per poundStep-by-step explanation:Here, P represents peaches and lb represents the number of pounds,(i) 13P = 4lb,i.e. number of peaches in 4 pounds = 13,⇒ number of peaches in 1 pound = [tex]\frac{13}{4}[/tex] = 3.25,Thus, rate is 3.25 peaches per pound.(ii) 39P =12lb,i.e. number of peaches in 12 pounds = 39,⇒ number of peaches in 1 pound = [tex]\frac{39}{12}[/tex] = 3.25,Thus, rate is 3.25 peaches per pound.(iii) 26P = 13lb,i.e. number of peaches in 13 pounds = 26,⇒ number of peaches in 1 pound = [tex]\frac{26}{13}[/tex] = 2,Thus, rate is 2 peaches per pound.(iv) 6P = 19.5lb,i.e. number of peaches in 19.5 pounds = 6,⇒ number of peaches in 1 pound = [tex]\frac{6}{19.5}[/tex] = 0.3077,Thus, rate is 0.3077 peaches per pound.(v) 15P= 7.5lb,i.e. number of peaches in 7.5 pounds = 15,⇒ number of peaches in 1 pound = [tex]\frac{15}{7.5}[/tex] = 2,Thus, rate is 2 peaches per pound.
