Answer:

The amount of nuts is 16 kg and cereal mixture is 44 kg to obtain 60 kg of a mix that will sell for $1.40 per kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x=nuts at $2.50 per kg

y=cereal at $1 per kg

x+y=60 kg (1)

2.50x+y=1.40(60) (2)

From (1)

x=60-y

Substitute x=60-y into (2)

2.50x+y=1.40(60)

2.50(60-y)+y=84

150-2.5y+y=84

-1.5y=84-150

-1.5y=-66

Divide both sides by -1.5

y=44 kg

Substitute y=44 into (1)

x+y=60

x+44=60

x=60-44

=16

x=16 kg

⦁The areas of two similar triangles ABC and DEF are 100 cm2 and 144 cm2. If EF = 15 cmthen find the length of side BC.
ch4aika [34]

we know that


area larger triangle (DEF)=[scale factor]²*area smaller triangle (ABC)

solve for scale factor

scale factor=√[area larger triangle/area smaller triangle]

scale factor=√[144/100]------> scale factor=1.2


therefore

measure EF=scale factor *measure BC

solve for measure BC

measure BC=measure EF/scale factor-------> 15/1.2------> 12.5 cm


the answer is

measure BC is 12.5 cm
