How much do 5 apples cost?
To find out the cost of 7 apples, we can set up a proportion using the given information.
We know that 5 apples cost 7 kg. Let's assign a variable "x" to represent the cost of 7 apples. Since we are measuring cost, we are looking for the ratio of cost to quantity.
We can set up the proportion as follows:
Cost of 5 apples / Quantity of 5 apples = Cost of 7 apples / Quantity of 7 apples
The quantity of 5 apples is 5, and the quantity of 7 apples is 7.
So, the equation becomes:
Cost of 5 apples / 5 = x / 7
To find x, we can cross-multiply:
5 * x = 7 * 5
Simplifying:
5x = 35
Dividing both sides by 5:
x = 7
Therefore, the cost of 7 apples is 7 units (currency, for example).
