zaharov [31]

Answer:

The amount of peanuts to use is 5 pounds and that of cashews is 30 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of peanut to use to be x

Let the amount of cashews to use to be 35-x

Form equations to compare amounts for individual foods and the mixture

$8x+15(35-x)=35(14)\\\\8x+525-15x=490\\\\7x=35\\\\x=5\\\\$

So the pounds to be used for peanuts is 5 pounds

The pounds to be used for cashews will be 35-x= 35-5=30 pounds

astronomers measure large distances in light years one light year is the distance that light can travel in one year or approxima

sveticcg [70]

What you can do in this case is the following rule of three to find the result:
1 light year ---> 5.88 * 10 ^ 12 miles
3.2 * 10 ^ 2 light year ---> x
Clearing x we have:
x = ((3.2 * 10 ^ 2) / (1)) * (5.88 * 10 ^ 12)
x = 1.88 * 10 ^ 15 miles
answer:
In scientific notation, approximately it is 1.88 * 10 ^ 15 miles

A village wishes to measure the quantity of water that is piped to a factory during a typical morning. A gauge on the water line

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

570 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of water is the product of flow rate of water and the time taken. We are to get the volume of water used between 6 am and 9 am, that is for 3 hours (9 - 6).

We are given the flow rate at 6 am and the flow rate at 9 am, but this flow rate changes between 6 am and 9 am. To get the estimate of the water used, Let us assume that it flows at the same flow rate as it was at 6 am throughout, hence:

$V_L= 100 m^3/h * 3h=300\ m^3$
