Rate at which each pumpkin is sold = $5
Rate at which each squash is sold = $3
Let us assume the number of pumpkins sold in a day = x
Then
The number of squash sold on that day = x + 6
Total amount of sales on that day = $98
Then
5x + 3( x + 6) = 98
5x + 3x + 18 = 98
8x = 98 - 18
8x = 80
x = 80/8
  = 10
So
The number of pumpkins sold = 10
The number of squash sold = x + 6
                                            = 10 + 6
                                            = 16

Viviana had 4 and 1/5 pounds of sugar. She used 1/3 of the sugar she had. How much sugar did she use? Select all that apply
hram777 [196]

Answer:

11.339809 c

To convert a pound measurement to a cup measurement, multiply the sugar by the conversion ratio.

Since one pound of sugar is equal to 2.267962 cups, you can use this simple formula to convert:

cups = pounds × 2.267962

The sugar in cups is equal to the pounds multiplied by 2.267962.

For example, here's how to convert 5 pounds to cups using the formula above.

5 lb = (5 × 2.267962) = 11.339809 c

While experts usually suggest measuring dry ingredients by weight since it's more accurate, some recipes call for ingredients by volume and many of us don't have a scale when we need one. Because of the density of different types of sugar varies, it may not be obvious how to convert between a weight and volume measurements.

This table shows the approximate volume measurement for various weights of sugar, by type to help with the conversion.

Write (1-i)-(4-5i) as a complex number in standard form. I don't exactly get how to do this.. Can anyone help?
elena-s [515]
You just subtract. The standard form of a complex number is a+bi 
1 - 4 = -3
-i - (-5i) = 4i
The answer is -3 + 4i
