A farm lets you pick 3 pints of raspberries for $12.00.A. What is the cost per pint?B. How many pints do you get ped dollar?C. At this rate, how many pints can you afford for $20.00?D. At this rate, how much will 8 pints of raspberries cost?

Answer 1

We are told that 3 pints of raspberries cost $12. we are asked the following questions:

A. What is the cost per pint?

To determine the cost per pint we need to divide the cost over the number of pints, like this:

`\frac{12dollars}{3\text{ pints}}=4\frac{dollars}{\text{ pint}}`

That means that the cost per pint is $4.

B. How many pints do you get per dollar?

To determine the cost per dollars we need to divide the number of pints over the cost, like this:

`\frac{3\text{ pints}}{12dollars}=(1)/(4)\text{ pint/dollar}`

Therefore, you get 1/4 pint per dollar.

C. At this rate, how many pints can you afford for $20.00?

To determine how many pints you get for $20, we multiply the cost per dollars by 20, like this:

`(1)/(4)\text{ pint/dollar}(20\text{dollars)}=5\text{ pints}`

Therefore, you get 5 pints for 20 dollars.

D. At this rate, how much will 8 pints of raspberries cost?​

To determine how much 8 pints cost, we multiply the cost per pint by 8, like this.

`4\text{ dollars/pint (8pint)=32 dollars}`

Therefore, 8 pints cost $32
