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 :)

Nd the value of the expression. Type a numerical answer in the space provided. 4 ∙ 1 - 3^2 ÷ 3

This is a problem of Arithmetic that is a branch of mathematics that consists of the study of numbers. Its main goal is the study of the traditional operations on them just as: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. There is an order of operation to solve problems in arithmetic that is the way you choose to simplify expressions. This order is like this:

1. First. Solve Parentheses.
2. Second. Solve Exponents (and root).
3. Third. Solve Multiplication and Division
3. Fourth. Solve addition and subtraction.

So let's apply these concepts to our problem:

$4 \times 1-3^2 \div 3$

We don't have parentheses, so let's apply second step:

$4 \times 1-9 \div 3$

Applying third step:

$4-3$

Finally, applying fourth step, the result is:

$1$

RSB [31]

Stray from the side farthest to the left you will eithe go up or you kill either go over. If you go over to the left it's wrong. But if you go to the right it's correct but if the line is a negative and you end up going down the slop make sure to put your negligible sign.

What is the answer to 3/4-3/8

Mashcka [7]

Convert 3/4 into a fraction in the form of x/8 to subtract 3/8 from it. Multiply the entire fraction by 2/2, which gives you 6/8. Subtract 3/8 from it, and you get 3/8. Your answer is 3/8.
