Question

the double number line shows that 4 kilograms of almonds cost $34.
almonds (kg) 0 4
cost (dollars) 0 34
based on the ratio shown in the double number line, what is the cost for 5 kilograms of almonds?
$

Explanation:

Step1: Find cost per kg

To find the cost per kilogram, we divide the total cost by the total kilograms. So, the cost per kilogram is $\frac{34}{4}$ dollars per kg.

Step2: Calculate cost for 5 kg

Now, to find the cost for 5 kilograms, we multiply the cost per kilogram by 5. So, the cost is $\frac{34}{4} \times 5$. First, simplify $\frac{34}{4}$ to $\frac{17}{2}$. Then, $\frac{17}{2} \times 5 = \frac{85}{2} = 42.5$.

Answer:

42.5
