Answer:
$2.00
Step-by-step explanation:
X - Columbian coffee ( in pounds),
y - Brazilian coffee ( in pounds );
x + y = 100
8.85 x + 3.85 y = 6.55 ( x + y )
----------------------------------------
x = 100 - y
8.85 ( 100 - y ) + 3.85 y = 6.55 * 100
855 - 8.55 y + 3.85 y = 655
- 5 y = - 230
y = ( - 230 ) : ( - 5 )
y = 46
x = 100 - 46
x = 54
Answer: 54 pounds of Columbian coffee and 46 pounds of Brazilian coffee should be used.

Answer:
5.4 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean theorem tells you the relationship between the various lengths is ...
cd² = ac² +ad²
cd² = (2.4 m)² + (1.8 m)² = 9.00 m²
cd = √(9.00 m²) = 3.0 m
Since cd = cb and ab = ac+cb, we have ...
ab = 2.4 m + 3.0 m = 5.4 m
_____
You may recognize this as a 3-4-5 right triangle with a scale factor of 0.6. We are asked for the sum of the lengths of the "4" and "5" legs, which is ...
0.6·(4+5) = 5.4
