Afterward, the exponents are added getting 1/2+1/2 = 2/2 = 1. The rule is which only works if the bases are both the same.
Answer:
a) p + m = 10 and
b) The mixing amount is 5 lb peanut and 5 lb mixture.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that p pounds of peanuts and m pounds of the 80% almond and 20% peanut mixture are used to make 10 pounds of 60% peanuts and 40% of almonds mixture.
Now, we can write that p + m = 10 ........ (1)
Now, m pounds of 80% almond and 20% peanut mixture contain 0.2m pounds of peanuts and 0.8m pounds of almonds.
Now, from the condition given it can be written that
.......... (2)
⇒
⇒ 2p + 0.4m = 2.4m
⇒ 2p = 2m
⇒ p = m
Now from equation (1) we get p = m = 5 pounds.
a) Therefore, equations (1) and (2) are the system of equations that models the situation.
b) The mixing amount is 5 lb peanut and 5 lb mixture. (Answer)
