Answer:

7.5\text{ lbs and }5\text{ lbs}

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: You have one type of nut that sells for \$2.80\text{/lb} and another type of nut that sells for \$5.30\text{/lb}. You would like to have 12.5\text{ lbs} of a nut mixture that sells for \$3.80\text{/lb}  

TO FIND: How much of each nut will you need to obtain the desired mixture.

SOLUTION:

Rate of first type of nut =\$2.80\text{/lb}  

Rate of second type of nuts  =\$5.30\text{/lb}

Total amount of nut mixture =12.5\text{ lbs}

let the total quantity of first type of nut be =x\text{ lbs}

quantity of second type of nuts =12.5-x \text{ lbs}

Now,

rate of new nut mixture =\$3.80\text{/lb}

rate of new mixture =\frac{\text{rate of first type of nuts}\times\text{quantity of first type nuts}+\text{quantity of second type of nuts}\times\text{rate of second type of nuts}}{\text{total quantity}}putting values

            \frac{2.80\times x+5.3\times(12.5-x)}{12.5}=3.8

           2.8x+5.3\times12.5-5.3x=12.5\times3.8

           2.5x=18.75

          x=7.5\text{ lbs}

quantity of first type of nuts =7.5\text{ lbs}

quantity of second type of nuts =12.5-7.5=5\text{ lbs}

Hence 7.5\text{ lbs} of first type of nuts and 5\text{ lbs} of second type of nuts are required to obtain the desired mixture.

What is the volume of the box?
Agata [3.3K]
To find the volume of the box you have to do the formula for volume

the formula for volume is lxwxh aka length x width x height

so first you have to do 3/4 x 1/2

3/4 x 1/2 = 3/8

Next, you have to do 3/8 x 1/4

3/8 x 1/4 = 3/32

so the volume of the box is 3/32

54 thousands 6 hundreds 12 tens – 15 thousands 8 hundreds 26 tens = ________(1 Point)
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

38,660

Step-by-step explanation:

54 thousands 6 hundreds 12 tens – 15 thousands 8 hundreds 26 tens

54 thousands = 54000

6 hundreds = 600

12 ten = 12*10 = 120

54 thousands 6 hundreds 12 tens = 54000+600+120 = 54720

15 thousands = 15000

8 hundreds = 800

26 tens = 26*10 = 260

15 thousands 8 hundreds 26 tens = 15000+800+260 = 16060

Thus,

54 thousands 6 hundreds 12 tens – 15 thousands 8 hundreds 26 tens

= 54720- 16060 = 38,660 (Answer)

Part A
klasskru [66]

Answer:

a) The y-intercept is 160. It represents the initial distance Jayden was from his home.

b) The x-intercept is 4. It represents the amount of time taken for Jayden to reach his home.

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept can be found by looking at the value of y when x=0. When x=0, y= 160. Since the x-axis is the amount of time in hours, x=0 would mean the initial time. The x-axis is the number of miles from Jayden's home thus, Jayden was 160 miles away from his home when x=0 hours.

The x-intercept can be found by looking at the x value when y=0. When y=0, x=4. This means that it took Jayden 4 hours to reach home or 4 hours to travel 160miles to his house.
