UPS charges $9 for the first pound, and $0.50 for each additional pound. FedEx charges $15 for the first pound and $0.30 for each additional pound. How many pounds, p, will it take for UPS and FedEx to cost the same?

30 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by creating an expression to represent this problem:

9 + 0.50p = UPS pricing

15 + 0.30p = FedEx

We want to find p where these two expressions are equal, giving:

9 + 0.50p = 15 + 0.30p

Now, we can solve the equation for p. Start by rearranging the equation so our variable is only on one side:

9 + 0.50p - 0.30p = 15 + 0.30p - 0.30p

9 + 0.20p = 15

Now let's finish solving for p:

9 + 0.20p = 15

0.20p = 15 - 9 = 6

p = 6/0.20 = 30 pounds

3/4 ÷ 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

basically divide any proper fraction with itself to fit the criteria.

so if we are using 3/4, then:

3/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1

so 1 is the quotient.

and the numerators for both these fractions is 3.   and if we divide the numerators:

3 ÷ 3 = 1

we see that quotient is equal to our original quotient as well.

answer: 4 meters

step-by-step explanation: to you understand 2/3 better you can do 1 divided by 3 = . then multiply that by the 2 which is .66666666666666667 then you would do 6 x .66666666666666667 which is 4.      

hope this .
