Answer:
a. ratio of the amount in dollars to the number of apples (r)
r= 1.25 dollars/apple
b. Akia can buy 8 apples
c. Christian can buy 4 apples
Step-by-step explanation:
Nomenclature
C: Total cost of apples ( dollars)
n: number of apples (units)
r : ratio of the amount in dollars to the number of apples (dollars/number of apples)
Formula : r = C/n
Problem deveopment
a. ratio of the amount in dollars to the number of apples
r = C/n= 1.25 dollars /1 apple = 1.25 dollars/apple
b. Apples that Akia can buy
r = C/n
n=C/r
[tex]n=\frac{10 dollars}{1.25\frac{dollars}{apples} }[/tex]
n= 8 apples
Akia can buy 8 apples
c. Apples that Christian can buy
n=C/r
n=6/1.25
n= 4.8
The number must be an integer, then, Christian can buy 4 apples
