Answer:

The length of each sides are 11 feet, 16.5 feet, 27.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The  ratio of the sides of a triangle are 2:3:5.

The sides of the triangle  = 2x, 3x, 5x

The perimeter of the triangle = 55  feet.

                         2x + 3x + 5x    = 55

                                           10x = 55

                                               x = 55/10 = 5.5

Length of each side :   2x = 2*5.5  = 11 feet

                                      3x  = 3*5.5 =  16.5 feet

                                       5x = 5 * 5.5 = 27.5 feet

Answer:

4 pounds of strawberries and 5 pounds of apples are bought.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of pounds of fruit = 9 pounds

Total money spent = $16.35

Cost of 1 pound of strawberry = $1.60

Cost of 1 pound of apple = $1.99

Let 'x' pounds of strawberries and 'y' pounds of apples are bought.

So, <u><em>as per question:</em></u>

<em>The sum of the pounds is 9. So,</em>

x+y=9\\\\y=9-x----1

Now, total sum of the fruits is equal to the sum of 'x' pounds of strawberries and 'y' pounds of apples. So,

1.60x+1.99y=16.35----2

Now, plug in the 'y' value from equation (1) in to equation (2). This gives,

1.60x+1.99(9-x)=16.35\\\\1.60x+17.91-1.99x=16.35\\\\Combining\ like\ terms, we get:\\\\1.60x-1.99x=16.35-17.91\\\\-0.39x=-1.56\\\\x=\frac{-1.56}{-0.39}=4\ pounds

Now, from equation 1, we have:

y=9-4=5\ pounds

Therefore, 4 pounds of strawberries and 5 pounds of apples are bought.
