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

A hat contains slips of paper with the names of the 26 other students in Eduardo’s class on them, 10 of whom are boys. To determ
dezoksy [38]
For the answer to the question above, the probability that Eduardo pulls out a girl the first time is 16/26 (26 - 10 = 16) which means that pulling out a girl a second time would be 15/25. To find out the probability of both, you have to multiply the fractions together. So (16 × 15)/(25 × 26) which is 240/650. You can simplify this to 24/65, and I believe that is the furthest you can simplify it, which means that the answer is 24/65, I hope this helps!

An angle measures 62.4° more than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If an angle measures x degrees, the measure of its supplement is (180-x) degrees.

This means that x-62.4 = 180-x, meaning that x=121.2.

So, the angles are 121.2 and 58.8 degrees.
