Au dépanneur, six conserves de maïs et deux boîtes de pâtes coûtent au plus 15,75 $. Indiquez le prix possible de la boîte de pâtes si une conserve de maïs coûte 0,50 $ de plus que la moitié du prix d’une boîte de pâtes.

$ 2.55 or less

Step-by-step explanation:

We have if they buy 6 cans of corn and 2 boxes of pasta are priced at $ 15.75 or less, they also tell us that the price of a can of corn is $ 0.50 + half the price of a box of pasta. Let's formulate the equation, let "x" be the cost of the can of corn and "y" be the cost of the box of pasta.

6 * x + 2 * y <= 15.75

x = 0.5 + y / 2

replacing:

6 * (0.5 + y / 2) + 2 * y <= 15.75

3 + 3 * y + 2 * y <= 15.75

5 * and <= 15.75-3

y <= 12.75 / 5

y <= 2.55

replacing in x:

x = 0.5 + 2.55 / 2 = 1.775

Which means that the price of a can of corn is $ 1,775 and for the box of pasta it is $ 2.55 or less.

answer: i believe its b. if you sound out the sentences that sounds wrong.

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
