a farmer received a 12,000 check for his crop of x bushels of soybeans.?

Question

which expression determines the average price (in dollars)per bushel of the crop?1) 12,000x 2) 12,000+ x 3) 12,000 - x 4)12,0000 divided by x 5)x divided by 12,000 which is the correct anwser

Answer 1

the short answer: 4) 12000/x

the long answer: if you need to do something like this again you can look at the units. the question was basically "what is the average $$$/bushel". you have two variables, the 12000 check ($$$) and the x amount of bushels. so you can just make the units match up (as in you want to relate your two variables to get the correct units), so you can easily see that you have to divide the check sum ($$$) by the x number of bushels (bushel)

Answer 2

4) 12,000 divided by x.

To understand it, try to think of realy numbers. Say you bought 5 hamburgers (bushels) and it cost 10.00 (the check).If you divide 10 by 5, you will have $2.00 (the cost of the hamburger)

Answer 3

4) 20,000/x would give you the mean price of each of the bushels of soybeans.

Answer 4

The corrrect answer is $12,000/x
None of the above.

Answer 5

4) 12,000/x
