Answer:  The correct option is (B) 1\dfrac{1}{2}.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Alice had 4\dfrac{1}{4} pounds of walnuts at the beginning of the week. At the end of the week, she had 2\dfrac{3}{4} pounds.

We are to find the quantity of walnuts that she had used.

We have

The quantity of walnuts that Alice has is

q_1=4\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{17}{4}~\textup{pounds}

and the quantity of walnut that she had at the end of the week is

q_2=2\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{11}{4}~\textup{pounds}.

Therefore, the quantity of walnut that she has used is given by

Q=q_1-q_2=\dfrac{17}{4}-\dfrac{11}{4}=\dfrac{6}{4}=\dfrac{3}{2}=1\dfrac{1}{2}.

Thus, the required quantity of walnut that she has used is 1\dfrac{1}{2}~\textup{pounds}.

Option (B) is CORRECT.

The probability that the marble on the first draw is blue is 3/8.

The probability that the marble on the second draw is blue is also 3/8.

6x+4y=12 into y=my+b
kirza4 [7]
6x + 4y = 12...subtract 6x from both sides
4y = -6x + 12 ...divide both sides by 4
(4/4)y = (-6/4)x + 12/4...reduce
y = -3/2x + 4 <== y = mx + b
