If nicholas spends $8.10 on pixie sticks, then how many pounds did he purchase?

2.32 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem says that he spent $8.10 0n pixie sticks and it also says, when you clarified, that 1 pound of pixie sticks is $3.48.

We will use Rule of Three to solve this problem, Rule of Three is used to solve proportions. To solve it we write:

$3.48 →  1 pound

$8.10 → x pounds

First, we multiply and then divide

(To  know how to solve Rule of Three, check the image attached)

We can write an expression like this:

x = ($8.10 * 1 pound) / $3.48

x = $8.10 / $3.48

x = 2.32 pounds

answer: standard form is ax^2 + bx + c = 0

step-by-step explanation:

standard form is ax^2 + bx + c = 0

(2x + 1)(x - 2) = 0

distribute to get into standard form

2x^2 - 4x + x - 2 = 0

2x^2 - 3x - 2 = 0

a = 2, b= -3, c = -2

a is your answer

i believe the answer is d.

hope it you! : d
