Answer:
2/3 can't be divided because it's in its lowest form so you can reduce it
Okay, so first you need know the values of the 4s. The first 4 is 400,000 and the second 4 is 40,000. The values are related because 400,000 is
tenTimes greater than
3/ 1/2 = 6 1 / 1/4 = 4 1/2 / 2 = 1/4
1/3/ 4 = 1/12 2/ 1/6 =12 1/4 /3 = 1/12
Answer:
The number of pounds of cashew is 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Let P represent the peanut
Let C represent the cashew nut.
From question, we were told that Elijah brought a total of 16 pounds of peanuts and cashew nuts. This can be written as:
P + C = 16 (1)
The total cost = $49.50
Cost per peanut = $2.75
Cost per cashew = $3.25
The above can be represented as:
49.50 = 2.75P + 3.25C. (2)
From equation 1,
P + C = 16
P = 16 — C
Substitute the value of P into equation 2:
49.50 = 2.75P + 3.25C.
49.50 = 2.75(16 — C) + 3.25C
49.50 = 44 — 2.75C + 3.25C
49.50 = 44 + 0.5C
Collect like terms
49.50 — 44 = 0.5C
5.5 = 0.5C
Divide both side by 0.5
C = 5.5/0.5
C = 11
Therefore, the number of pounds of cashew is 11
With each gallon you need 11 gallons with 2 parts red 9 parts yellow and since 11x4= 44 you need to do this 4 times
4x2(red)= 8
4x9(yellow)=36
36+8=44
basically 8 gallons of red
i hope this made sense
