If 2 1/2 lb. of turkey costs $6.25 and 2 1/4 lb. of turkey costs $5.75, which brand of turkey is the better buy?

To solve this, let's try finding the unit rate:

First, let's turn the fractions into decimals.

2.5x = 6.25

2.25x = 5.75

x = 2.5

x = 2.55555555556

The $6.25 turkey is the better buy

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5

company a

step-by-step explanation:

using the linear regression models , it is found that company a   pays about $14 more. but using the same regression (linear) company b pays about $10 more.

so company a pays more than b
