Cherie measures and records the lengths and sizes of the same style of a sandal found at a shoe store. which equation can be used to determine the approximate shoe size, s, for a foot length of x inches? s = x – 2 s = 2x – 10 s = x + 6 s = 2x + 4

Jonathan pays $1.90 per pound for potatoes. he buys 8.3 pounds of potatoes. he determines that he will pay $15.77, before tax, for the potatoes. which best describes the reasonableness of jonathan’s solution? jonathan’s answer is reasonable because there are two decimal places in the factors and two in the product. jonathan’s answer is unreasonable because there are three decimal places in the factors and two in the product. jonathan’s answer is reasonable because is 16, and 16 is close to 15.77. jonathan’s answer is unreasonable because is 8, and 8 is not very close to 15.77.
