Answer:
Part a: $0.40 per lemon, Part b: $3.60
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the cost of five lemons is $2, it would be: 5 lemon = $2
$2/5 lemons = $x/1 lemon
so divide by 5 on the numerator and denominator. 2 divided by 5 = 0.4
So part a: 40 cents or $0.40 per lemon!
Part B:
cost of 1 lemon compared to 9 lemons:
$0.40/1 = x/9
Multiply both numerator and denominator by 9
So, it costs $3.60 for 9 lemons.
