Option D  is best modeled with a division expression

Step-by-step explanation:

A)  How much does it cost to buy 3 and 1/2 pounds of apples at $2 per pound?

Cost of 1 pound = $2

Cost of 3 and 1/2 pounds  = 2 \times 3.5

B) B. How many apples are needed for 2 pies if the recipe uses 3 and 1/2 apples per pie?

1 pie requires 3.5 apples

So, 2 pies requires apples = 3.5 \times 2

C)  How many more apples are needed if a recipe uses 3 and 1/2 apples and you only have 2 apples?

Recipe requires 3.5 apples

You have 2 apples

More apples required = 3.5 - 2

D) . How many apples are in each pie if a total of 3 and 1/2 apples were used to bake 2 pies?

Apples required in 2 pies = 3.5

Apples required in 1 pie = \frac{3.5}{2}

Hence Option D  is best modeled with a division expression

The cost , in dollars, for 3 pounds of oranges is 1.8

Solution:

Given that Monica paid 3.20 for 2 pounds of apples and 2 pounds of oranges

Sarah paid 4.40 for 2 pounds of apples and 4 pounds of oranges.

Let the cost of orange per pound = x  

Let the cost of apple per pound = y  

Therefore, we can frame an equation as follows for Monica and Sarah:

In Monica’s case:  

2x + 2y = 3.20  

Hence x + y = 1.6 eqn 1

In Sarah’s case:  

4x + 2y = 4.40  

Hence 2x + y = 2.2

y = 2.2 -2x – eqn 2

Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1 we get,

x + 2.2 -2x = 1.6

-x = 1.6-2.2 = -0.6

x = 0.6

Substituting the value of “x” in eqn 2 we get the value of “y” as 1

Thus the cost of orange per pound is 0.6

Therefore, cost of 3 pounds of oranges = 3 × 0.6 = 1.8

$5.76

Step-by-step explanation:

Total price for 3.75 pounds of pears:

0.92(3.75) = $3.45

Total price for 2.10 pounds of pears:

1.10(2.10) = $2.31

Total Price:

$2.31 + $3.45 = $5.76
