How to find the unit rate of 14lb for $2.99

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Okay so let's try to find the amount of money needed to buy 1 lb. Therefore, let's divide the fraction by 14. 
(14)/(2.99) 
Then we'll divide both the numerator and denominator by 14. 
(14)/(2.99) ÷ (14)/(14)
Then we simplify and get:
14÷14=1     2.99÷14=.2135   We can round that to .21
The unit rate for each pound would be 1:.21
I don't know if that helped, but yeah. :)

Answer 2
Answer:
Look at the units.
If you divide (2.99 dollars) by (14 lb), the quotient will be
(dollars per pound),which is exactly what you want.

a 15 foot tall tree is next to a slide tree is casting a shadow of 20 feet and the slide is casting a shadow that is 16 feet how tall is the slide

Answers

You would first write a proportion like this:
15 over 20 = x over 16
Cross multiply 15 times 16 and 20 times x.
15 times 16 = 240. 20 times x = 20x.
Divide both sides by 20. 
240/20 = 12
x = 12
The slide tree is 12 feet tall.
