Explanation:

Question 12

Step1: Find the ratio of free throws

The ratio of free throws made is $\frac{3}{7}$ (3 made out of 7 shots).

Step2: Calculate for 21 shots

Let $x$ be the number of made free throws. We set up the proportion $\frac{3}{7}=\frac{x}{21}$. Cross - multiply: $7x = 3\times21$. Then $7x=63$, and $x = \frac{63}{7}=9$.

Step1: Recall the unit rate formula

Unit rate is total distance divided by total time. The formula is $\text{Unit Rate}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$.

Step2: Calculate the unit rate

We have a distance of 240 miles and a time of 8 days. So, $\text{Unit Rate}=\frac{240}{8}=30$ miles per day.

Step1: Calculate unit price for Store A

The unit price (price per ounce) for Store A is calculated by dividing the total price by the number of ounces. For Store A, the price is $\$1.50$ for 5 oz. So, unit price $=\frac{1.50}{5}=0.30$ dollars per ounce.

Step2: Calculate unit price for Store B

For Store B, the price is $\$1.20$ for 3 oz. So, unit price $=\frac{1.20}{3} = 0.40$ dollars per ounce.

Step3: Compare the unit prices

Since $0.30<0.40$, Store A has a lower unit price, so it is a better buy.

Answer:

(b) If your answer is 9 color the eyes green.
