Question

Eight hot dogs at the baseball park cost $28. What is the cost of one hot dog? (Let h = price of a hot dog)

Choices:

a. 8 + h = 28

b. 8h = 28

c. 28h = 8

d. h/8 = 28

Answer 1

To find the cost of one hot dog, we can set up a proportion. The cost of one hot dog is $0.29.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the cost of one hot dog, we can set up a proportion. Let's assume that the cost of one hot dog is h. We know that 8 hot dogs cost $28, so we can set up the following equation:

rac{8}{h} = rac{28}{1}

To solve for h, we can cross multiply:

8 imes 1 = h imes 28

8 = 28h

Finally, we can divide both sides of the equation by 28 to solve for h:

h = rac{8}{28}

Therefore, the cost of one hot dog is $rac{8}{28} or $0.29.
