Find the prime factorization
45=3*3*5
60=2*2*3*5
GCF=3*5=15
45=3*15
60=4*15
remember
ab+ac=a(b+c) so
45+60=15(3)+15(4)=15(3+4)=15(7)=105
The new mixture exists 56.5% peanuts.
<h3>How to estimate the total number of peanuts required for the mixture?</h3>
The first batch of 9 lb of mixed nuts possesses 40% peanuts.
This means the quantity of peanuts exists:
9
40/100 = 3.6 lb
The second batch of 9 lb of mixed nuts possesses 73% peanuts.
This means the quantity of peanuts exists:
9
73/100 = 6.57 lb
The total quantity of peanuts in the mix exists
3.6 lb + 6.57 lb = 10.17 lb
There exist 9 lb + 9 lb = 18 lb of mix.
Therefore, the percent of peanuts in the mix exists:
10.17 / 18
100 = 56.5%
The new mixture exists 56.5% peanuts.
