Question

1. Juan bought fruit from the grocery store. The variables below define his purchase. Juan's bananas cost half as much as apples. Which equations can be used to model his purchase? Select each correct equation.* a = the number of apples he bought b = the number of bananas he bought x= the cost of an apple in dollars y= the cost of a banana in dollars A- a= 1/2 bb- y=1/2 xc- a=2bd- x=2ye- y=2af- b=1/2 x

Answer 1

Juan's bananas cost half ( 1/2) as much as apples.

x= the cost of an apple in dollars

y= the cost of a banana in dollars

Multiply the cost of an apple by 1/2 (half). that expression must be equal to the cost of a banana.

y = 1/2 x (option b)
