Answer:

Part a) Each friend will receive $\frac{3}{10}\ pounds$

Part b) $\frac{19}{20}\ pounds$ or $0.95\ pounds$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a)

we know that

To calculate the weight of peanuts in pounds that each friend will

receive, divide the total pounds of peanuts by two

$\frac{(3/5)}{2}=\frac{3}{10}\ pounds$

Part b)

Let

x-----> pounds of extra peanuts the friend needs to end up with 2 pounds of peanuts

we know that

$2=x+\frac{3}{10}+\frac{3}{4}$

Solve for x

$x=2-(\frac{3}{10}+\frac{3}{4})$

Multiply by 40 both sides

$40x=80-(12+30)$

$40x=38$

$x=\frac{38}{40}\ pounds$

Simplify

$x=\frac{19}{20}\ pounds$ or $x=0.95\ pounds$

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

$|T- 98.6| \geq 3$

And in order to solve this we have two possibilities:

Solution 1

$T -98.6 \leq -3$

And solving for T we got:

$T \leq 98.6- 3$

$T\leq 95.6$

Solution 2

And the other options would be:

$T -98.6 \geq 3$

$T \geq 101.6$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can define the variable os interest T as the real temperature and we know that if we are 3 F more than the value of 98.6 we will be unhealthy so we can set up the following equation:

$|T- 98.6| \geq 3$

And in order to solve this we have two possibilities:

Solution 1

$T -98.6 \leq -3$

And solving for T we got:

$T \leq 98.6- 3$

$T\leq 95.6$

Solution 2

And the other options would be:

$T -98.6 \geq 3$

$T \geq 101.6$
