A10-pound box of apples costs $12.50.write the ratio of cost to number of pounds as a fraction

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a 10-pound box of apples costs $12.50.

First of all, we will find cost of each pound of apples by dividing total cost by 10 as:

Therefore, our required fraction would be .

so firstly, we need to isolate the y variables to be able to solve these inequalities. firstly, add 0.5x on both sides of the first inequality and subtract 1.5x on both sides of the second inequality:

now since the slope is positive for the first inequality, this means that the line going upwards belongs to the first inequality, and the line going downwards belongs to the second inequality.

next, since y ≥ in the first inequality, this means that the shaded region will be above the first inequality's line, thus shading regions a and b.

next, since y ≤ in the second inequality, this means that the shaded region is going to be below this line, thus shading regions a and c.

since both lines shade region a, this means that region a is the solution.
