Associated sells oranges at 3.00 for five pounds and apples at 3.99 for three pounds. shoprite sells oranges at 2.59 for four pounds and apples at 1.98. which store has the better buy for oranges?

I'm not completely sure but in my opinion I think the answer is that the Associated store has the better buy for oranges! :-)

Step-by-step explanation:

Because they have $3.00 for five pounds and the shoprite store has 2.59 for 4 pounds, but if you where to buy a fifth one at the Shoprite store then you would have to pay more for 5 pounds of oranges then you would for the 5 pounds of oranges at the Associated store.

 Hope this helps! Please mark me brainliest! :-

the value of v.w= -12.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given three vector r,v and w as:

r = < 5, -5, -2> ; v = < 2, -8, -8> ; w = < -2, 6, -5>

we know that r,v and w could also be represented as:

r=5i-5j-2k

v=2i-8j-8k

and w= -2i+6j-5k

where i,j and k are the unit vectors of x,y and z-axis respectively.

also we know that it has the following property:

i.i=1 ; j.j=1; k.k=1

and i.=j.i=i.k=k.i=j.k=k.j=0

i.e. when we multiply two vectors or we find it's dot product we need to only multiply the components of x coordinates with each other; y with each other and z with each other.

hence, v.w= (2i-8j- -2i+6j-5k)

                  = 2×(-2)+(-8)×(6)+(-8)×(-5)

                  = -4-48+40

                  = -12

hence, v.w= -12

the answer is c just got it on ed
