Answer 1

Answer:

A, B, D are true

Step-by-step explanation:

A)  Speed = Distance travelled ÷ time taken

                 = 112 ÷ 1.75

                  = 64 miles per hour

True

B) Cost of 6 pens = $7.74

   Cost of 1 pen    = 7.74 ÷ 6 = $ 1.29

   Cost of 7 pens = 1.29 * 7   = $ 9.03

TRUE

C) Speed = 57 miles per hour

4 hour 10 minutes = 250 minutes

Distance traveled in an hour  = 57

Distance traveled in 250 minutes = (57* 250)   ÷ 60 = 237.50 miles

FALSE

D) Cost of 17 cans = $ 38.59

   Cost of 1 can      = 38.59 ÷ 17 = $2.27

   Cost of 3 cans    = 2.27 * 3 = $ 6.81

TRUE

e) Cost of two dozen eggs = $ 8.40

    Cost of an egg                = 8.40 ÷  24  =   $ 0.35

FALSE
