Respuesta :

1.55 / 1 = x / 3.5....$ 1.55 to 1 lb = $ x to 3.5 lbs

first one <==

it could have also been : 1 / 1.55 = 3.5 / x...but that is not an answer choice

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

One pound of grapes costs $1.55. To find the amount x of 3.5 pounds of grapes we would have to multiply 1.55 by 3.5. This would give us the amount x we would have to pay for them.

If we examine the 4 equivalent radios shown in the pictures, we will see that the first one correctly shows this equivalency.

[tex]\frac{1.55}{1} = \frac{x}{3.5}[/tex]

The other 3 pictures show radios that would give us x = 3.5 / 1.55 (second and third) or x = 1.55 / 3.5 (fourth picture).

Therefore, the correct answer would be a)
