Answer 6

(5,2) means 5 pounds of cabbage costs $2. so to get 1 pound you divide the weight of cabbage by 5. then to get the price of 1 pound you divide the price by 5.

Answer 7

Ok I don't get it

Answer 8

Can u just give me the answer

Answer 9

in essay form

Answer 10

Sorry but I'm horrible at math

Answer 11

5 pounds divided by 5 = 1 pound. $2 divided by 5 = $0.4

Answer 12

we can write the subsequent proportion:
\[\Large 2:5 = p:1\]
p is the unit price

Answer 13

Im sorry i still don't get it

Answer 14

Hint:
if 5 pounds of cabbage cost 2 dollars, then 1 pound of cabbage costs 2/5 dollars

Answer 15

ok

Answer 16

so we can write this formula:
\[p = \frac{2}{5}\]

Answer 17

ok

Answer 18

now, if we apply the fundamental property to this proportion:
\[2:5 = p:1\]
we get:
\[5p = 2\]

Answer 19

ok

Answer 20

next I divide both sides of that last formula, by 5, so I can write:
