Which equation represents the relationship?

Question 6 options:

P (pounds)D(Dollars)=5

P (Pounds) = 5D (Dollars)


D (Dollars) = 5P (Pounds)

Answer 1

Answer:

$5 is the cost of 1 pound of walnuts

P (Pounds) = 5D (Dollars)

Explanation:

Since 10 pounds of walnuts = $50.

Let 1 pound of walnuts = Z

then, cross multiply

So, Z = ($50 X 1 pound) / 10 pounds

Z = 50/10

Z = $5

Thus, 1 pound of walnuts will cost 5 Dollars while P (Pounds) = 5D (Dollars) is the equation that shows the relationship between pounds and dollars

Answer 2

1 pound of walnuts would be $5
