Question

Ray is making his reward winning lemonade recipe for a party he is comparison shopping for lemons at super pioneer supermarket he can buy 4 lemons for 1.60 ray visits keyfood and found 3 lemons cost 1.80 use the table below to compare the values

Answer 1

Explanation:

Super Pioneer:

If at the Super Pioneer Store he can get 4 lemons for 1.6 dollars, 1 lemon should cost:

4: 1.6

1:. X

4x = 1.6

X = 1.6/4

X = 0.4

1 lemon costs 0.4 dollars

How many lemons could we get from $2.4?

1 : 0.4

X : 2.4

0.4x = 2.4

X = 2.4/0.4

X = 6

2.4 dollars would get you 6 lemons

8 lemons would cost= 8x0.4 = $3.2

Keyfood Supermarket

3 lemons cost 1.8$, so how mucb does 1 lemon cost?

3: 1.8

1 : X

3x = 1.8

X = 1.8/3

X = 0.6

If 1 lemon costs 0.6, how many lemons could you buy from $3?

1: 0.6

X : 3

3 = 0.6x

X = 3/0.6

X = 5

If 1 lemon cost 0.6$, 8 lemons would cost:

8 x 0.6 = $4.8

(I have also edited the answers on the table, but sorry if they seem a bit messy)
