Answer:  \frac{306}{65} pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x pounds of $ 0.66 per lb candies mixed with y pounds of $ 1.31 per lb candies to obtain 9 lb of $ 0.97 per lb candies,

Hence, we can write,

x + y = 9 ------- (1)

And, 0.66 of x + 1.31 of y = 0.97 of (x + y)

⇒ 66 x + 131 y = 97 (x+y)

⇒ 66 x +131 y - 97 x - 97 y = 0

⇒ -31 x + 34 y = 0  ------(2)

By solving equation (1) and (2)

We get,

x=\frac{306}{65} and y=\frac{279}{65}

Hence, the quantity of 0.66 per lb candies = \frac{306}{65}  pounds

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

25 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

If square has a perimeter of 20 inches, the length of each side is:

s=\frac{20}{4}\\ s=5\ in

After cutting the square in half, we are left with two rectangles of 5 in x 2.5 in

Attaching those two smaller rectangles by their short end (2.5 in side), gives us a new rectangle with a height of 2.5 in and a length of 10 in (sum of the 5 in sides in each rectangle). The perimeter of this new rectangle is:

P=2*2.5+2*10\\P=25\ in

The perimeter is 25 inches.
