Question

Jackson wants to purchase flowers to plant on Mothers day for his mom. If each plant costs $1.25 and he has $10 dollars to spend, how many plants can he purchase? Identify the rate and the initial amount.

Answer 1

Rate = something per something = \(\large\frac{something}{something}\)

Typically something per time, such as feet per second or miles per hours. But it can be other things too, in this case... $1.25 per each plant? 1.25 \(\large \frac{$}{plant}\)

Answer 2

"initial" = "starting"
Can't be made any simpler than that I'm afraid.

Answer 3

but none of the answers are in fraction form

Answer 4

*tries to magically divine what form your answers are in, but fails to do so*

I jest, but come on m8...

Answer 5

B.$1.25=Initial amount;$-10=rate
C.$1.25=rate; $-10=initial amount
D.$1.25=rate;$10= initial amount
these are the answers
