I'm not sure what your book is saying about the matter but a cell phone is not usually an essential expense. If it is saying it is though, it would be an essential flexible expense.

<span>The question is asking us to calculate : 13/56 + 5/7. To do this we have first to find the common denominator for these fractions. We know that 56 = 7 * 8, so the common denominator is 56. Then we will multiply the numerator and the denominator of the second fraction by 8. 5/7 * 8/8 = 40/56. Finally we will add : 13/56 + 40/56 = 53/56 and that is the final answer, which can not be simplified. Answer: 53/56</span>
Answer:
<h2>$128</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem is on rate.
firstly we have to find the rate at which 1 ton is sold
given that 3/8 ton is sold for $24
hence 1 ton will be sold for X
cross multiply
X = 24/3/8
inverse the denominator and multiply the result with the numerator we have
X= 24*8/3
X= $64
Now having found out that 1 ton cost $64
2 tons will cost =64*2
= $128
Therefore at this rate two tons will cost $128
