Ava bought 2 1/4 pounds of ham for $7.65 at ShopRite last week. This week she bought 3 1/2 pounds of the same ham for $12.60 at Stop & Shop. Which store has the better price per pound for ham? How much less expensive is the ham at the store with the better price?

answer: a.   one is a factor of every whole number since every number is divisible by itself.

-6 is the correct option from the above given options

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
