A pound of candy costs x dollars. One of the friends bought 5lb and the second friend bought 7lb candies for the party. How much money did they spend together

The total money spent equals $12x.

Step-by-step explanation:

First friend spent $5x, representing 5Ib of candies at  a price of $x each.

Second friend spent $7x, representing 7Ib of candies at a price of  $x each.

Total pounds of candies bought = 5 + 7 = 12

Therefore, total cost of candies bought = 12 multiplied by x, which = $12x

The total quantity of candies bought multiplied by the price per pound gives the total money spent altogether.

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
