Answer:
Pounds of raisins = 1.5 lb
Pounds of cashew = 3.5 lb
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Pounds of raisins = x
Pounds of cashew = y
x + y = 5 (1)
4.50x + 9.50y = 40 (2)
From (1)
x = 5 - y
Substitute x = 5 - y into
4.50x + 9.50y = 40
4.50(5 - y) + 9.50y = 40
22.50 - 4.50y + 9.50y = 40
- 4.50y + 9.50y = 40 - 22.50
5y = 17.5
y = 17.5 / 5
= 3.5
y = 3.5lb
Substitute y = 3.5 into
x + y = 5
x + 3.5 = 5
x = 5 - 3.5
= 1.5
x = 1.5lb
Pounds of raisins = 1.5 lb
Pounds of cashew = 3.5 lb
Answer:
#9: 1.2
#10: 1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the scale factor of the smaller figure to the larger figure, we're going to be dividing the measurements of corresponding edges.

If you wanted to find the scale factor of the larger figure to the smaller figure, you'd do: 
Question #9:
Left edges:
⇒
= 1.2
Bottom edges:
⇒
= 1.2
<em>(You should get the same number as long as the figures are similar.)</em>
<em />
Question #10:
Bottom edges:
⇒
= 1.25
<em>(There are no corresponding edges with measurements that we can compare.)</em>
<em />
~Hope this helps!~
According to the information you gave me I believe it is "y", as it complicates it and it's a term?
