Jelly beans - $0.98 per pound
chocolate drops - $0.67 per pounds
Terri's bag = 2.1 pounds and $1.56

p = represents the pounds jelly beans.
c = represents the pounds in chocolate drops

p + c  = 2.1
0.98p + 0.67c = 1.56

c = 2.1 - p  ; number of pounds of chocolate drops

0.98p + 0.67(2.1 - p) = 1.56
0.98p + 1.41 - 0.67p = 1.56
0.98p - 0.67p = 1.56 - 1.41
0.31p = 0.15
p = 0.15/0.31
p = 0.48 pounds of jelly beans

c = 2.1 - 0.48
c = 1.62 pounds of chocolate drops.

What is the volume of the box pictured below?
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

The volume of the box is 3/4 cubic meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that volume = length * width * height. We have length, width, and height already, so all we have to do is multiply.

5/6 * 1 1/8 * 4/5. First we convert 1 1/8 from a mixed fraction, to give us 9/8, as 8/8 = 1.

5/6 * 9/8 * 4/5. 5 * 9 = 45, and 6 * 8 = 48. 45/48 reduces to 15/16.

15/16 * 4/5. 15 * 4 = 60, and 16 * 5 = 80. 60/80 reduces to 6/8, which reduces to 3/4.
