Answer:
amount of nuts = 2 pounds
amount of dried fruit = 4 pounds

Explanation:
We are given that x is the amount of nuts and y is the amount of dried fruit.
We are also given that:
1- Hunter needs to make 6 pounds of trail mix. This means that:
x + y = 6
This can be rewritten as:
x = 6 - y .........> equation I
2- x costs $4 per pound, y costs $3.5 and Hunter can spend a total of $22. This means that:
4x + 3.5y = 22 ..........> equation II

Substitute with equation I in equation II and solve for y as follows:
4x + 3.5y = 22
4(6-y) + 3.5y = 22
24 - 4y + 3.5y = 22
24-22 = 4y-3.5y
2 = 0.5y
y = 4 pounds

Substitute with y in equation I to get the value of x as follows:
x = 6-y
x = 6-4
x = 2 pounds

Hope this helps :)

Answers:
Wood Question: 860 millimeters
Heigh Question: 73 centimeters

Explanations:
Wood Question: You can get this result by doing 7.74/9 because you are dividing 7.74 meters into 9 pieces and you will get 0.86, AKA 86 centimeters. Then, you need to multiply that by 10 to convert it into millimeters and 86(10) is 860.

Height Question: First, you want to do 1.46/2 and you will get 0.73. 0.73 meters is equivalent to 73 centimeters, and since you know Jaxson is two times his sister's height, you know that you can leave it at that, therefore your final answer is 73 centimeters.
