Answer:
9 oranges: bananas
Step-by-step explanation:
ok so I just did somthinglike this with my cuz so here is what I got
Ratio is 3 oranges : 2 bananas, They add up to 5 fruits, so some possible values are 5, 10, 15 , 20, 25, etc. We need a value between 8 and 16. This means that we need 15/5= 3 portions of fruits and since the ratio is 3:2
We multiply this by the original ratio to get 9 oranges : 6 bananas

Hey, I'm not sure if I am right, but I hope it can create a spark or something.
8. Find x
10x - 1 = 14x - 37 Combine like terms
+37 +37
10x + 36 = 14x Combine like terms
-10x -10x
36 = 4x Divide to isolate x
<u>36</u> = <u>4x</u>
4 4
9 = x
You can also do this method with the others.
PS: I am still not sure if this is the right method, lol. I just really want to help.
For the mix you need 60 Ib of nuts and raisins, and 60 lb of mix will sell for $300.
Let <em>x</em> be the weight of nuts and <em>y</em> the weight of raisins needed for the mix.
Total weight = <em>x</em>+<em>y</em> = 60, so <em>y</em> = 60 - <em>x</em>
Total value = 6<em>x</em> + 3<em>y</em> = 300. From the above, we can substitute the <em>y</em> for 60 - x:
Total value = 6<em>x</em> + 3(60 - <em>x</em>) = 300, which we can simplify to:
6<em>x</em> + 180 - 3<em>x</em> = 300, and simplify again to:
3<em>x</em> = 120, and again to:
<em>x</em> = 40. We can now calculate<em> y</em> from the first equation y = 60 - <em>x</em>, so:
y = 20.
40 lb of nuts and 20 lb of raisins. Check:
40 lb x $6/lb = $240, and 20 lb x $3/lb = $60, $240 + $60 = $300.
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is A.
