Answer:
$9 for 36
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide the price by the quantity to receive the unit price. Here are the unit prices for each option:
1. $0.54
2. $0.43
3. $0.31
4. $0.28
5. $0.25
Basically, you want the lowest price. So, $9 for 36 is the best value because it costs $0.25 per pen.
For this case we can make the following rule of three:
2/9 ------> 3/5
x ---------> 1
Clearing x we have:
x = (1 / (3/5)) * (2/9)
Rewriting we have:
x = (5/3) * (2/9)
x = 10/27
Answer:
he irons 10/27 of his shirt every minute
This is a question of proportionality. However, it is not direct proportionality as it is expected that as the number of tractors increases, the work is finished faster as opposed to fewer number of tractors. This is referred to as inverse proportionality.
Therefore;
6 tractors ----- 10 days
18 tractors --- x days
Then,
x = (6*10)/18 = 10/3 days = 3 days, and 8 hours.
This means that 18 tractors will take 3 days and 8 hours to collect the same harvest.
