Five pounds of fudge sells for $17.00. At the same rate, how much will 12 pounds of fudge cost?

  $40.80

Step-by-step explanation:

At the same rate, 12/5 of the amount will be 12/5 times the price:

  (12/5)($17.00) = $40.80

12 pounds of fudge will cost $40.80.

why can't you?

step-by-step explanation:

18

step-by-step explanation:

draw the shape and you will see that f and k are actually at adjacent vertices (points of the hexagon that are neighboring).   so find the distance between (1,2) and (4,2).   that is easy since (1,2) and (4,2) is just a vertical distance to count, which is 3.   it is a regular polygon which means all sides are congruent.   you have 6 sides (hexa) so multiply 6 by 3 to receive 18.
