Answer:

The amount of 65 cents per pound flour to use is 40 pounds and the amount of 95 cents per pound flour to use is 60 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> amount of 65 cents per pound flour to use

y----> amount of 95 cents per pound flour to use

we know that

x+y=100 ----> y=100-x ----> equation A

0.65x+0.95y=0.83(100) ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

0.65x+0.95(100-x)=0.83(100)

Solve for x

0.65x+95-0.95x=83

0.95-0.65x=95-83

0.30x=12

x=40\ lb

Find the value of y

y=100-40=60\ lb

therefore

The amount of 65 cents per pound flour to use is 40 pounds and the amount of 95 cents per pound flour to use is 60 pounds

Which equation represents the graph of the linear function?
marusya05 [52]
By looking at the graph you can rule out choices C and D because the graph given to you is an increasing linear function and C and D represent functions with a decreasing or negative slope. 

By looking at the picture the slop of the graph seems to be 4/1 (rise/run) so your slope is 4. And your y-intercept looks like its -4 so your answer is B<span />

For a triangle with the length of its sides of 5/36, 1/3 and 13/36, determine if it is a right triangle?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Yes it is. Input the numbers into the pythagorean theorem,

{a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}  =  {c}^{2}

and if they equal each other it is a right triangle.
