Relationship is proportional ;

8 oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

Oranges (lb) 2 ___ 3 5 ___?

Price ($) __ 3 ___4.50___7.50_12

For proportionality :

Oranges = k * price

Where, k = constant of proportionality

2 = 3k

k = 2 /3

k = 0.666666

Using k :

Number of oranges at price = 4.50 should be:

0.66666 * 4.50 = 3

Number of oranges at price = 7.50 should be:

0.66666 * 7.50 = 5

Hence, relationship is proportional

Number of oranges at $12

0.66666 * 12 = 8

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice
