Question

the double number line shows the price of one cupcake complete the table and show the same information as a double number line 5 to blank blank to 18 and 18 to blank

Answer 1

From the first diagram shown, we can see that 1 cupcake costs $1.5

To get the price of 5 cupcakes

Since 1cupcake = $1.5

5 cupcakes = $x

cross multiply

1 * x = 5 * 1.5

x = $7.5

Hence 5 cupcakes will cost $7.5

Since 1cupcake = $1.5

18 cupcakes = $x

cross multiply

1 * x = 18 * 1.5

x = $27

Hence 5 cupcakes will cost $27

To get the number of cupcakes priced $18

Since 1cupcake = $1.5

x cupcake = $18

1.5x = 18

divide both sides by 1.5

1.5x/1.5 = 18/1.5

x =
