Bowser bought mushrooms
at the farmer's market. He
paid $4.32 for 6 pounds of
mushrooms. At that rate,
how much should he pay for
5 pounds of mushrooms?

The amount he should pay for 5 pounds of mushrooms is $3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data is that,

Bowser bought 6 pounds of  mushrooms at a rate of $4.32

At the same rate, determining that how much he should pay for 5 pounds of mushrooms is given by the rate formula.

Rate = total cost / total number of mushrooms

Now, Rate = 4.32 / 6

Let us assume, the cost for 5 pounds as 'x' dollars.

Therefore, Rate = x / 5

To find the value of x, compare both the rates :

⇒ 4.32 / 6 = x / 5

bringing 5 to the left side of the equation,

⇒ (4.32×5) / 6 = x

⇒ x = 21.6 / 6

⇒ x = 3.6 dollars

The amount he should pay for 5 pounds of mushrooms is $3.6

answer:

step-by-step explanation:

here, the total dishes = 10

dishes having meat = 3 ( chicken, meatloaf and hamburger )

thus, the probability of having meat on the chosen dishes = number of dishes having meat / total dishes

=

therefore, the probability of not having meat = 1- the probability of having meat on the chosen dishes

=

=

=

⇒ option b is correct.
