Two 5-pound bags of oranges and one 8-pound bag of oranges are being shared equally by three friends. Which expression can be evaluated to find the number of pounds oranges each person will get?

(5 + 5 + 8 ) / 3 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate this we must first combine the like terms, which in this case are the three bags of oranges. Once we have that we can divide that number by the amount of friends in order to get an equal amount of oranges that each friend will receive. This can all be done with the following expression where x is the amount each friend will receive.

(5 + 5 + 8 ) / 3 = x

18 / 3 = x

6 = x

So we can see that each friend will receive a 6-pound bag of oranges.

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
