Answer:

7 ounces of trail mix each hiker receive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Milton makes a trail mix for his hiking group. He mixes 1 1/4 pound of peanuts, 14 ounces of raisins, 12 ounces of walnuts, and 10 ounces of chocolate chips.

If Milton divides the trail mix equally among the 8 hikers in the group.

Now, to find the ounces of trail mix each hiker receive.

Pound of peanuts = $1\frac{1}{4}.$

Now, using conversion factor convert pound into ounces:

1 pounds = 16 ounces.

$\frac{5}{4}$ pounds = $\frac{5}{4} \times 16$ = $20\ ounces.$

Ounces of peanuts = 20.

Ounces of raisins = 14.

Ounces of walnuts = 12.

Ounces of chocolate chips = 10.

Now, we add all the ounces of peanuts, raisins, walnuts and chocolate chips to get the trail mix:

$20+14+12+10\\\\=56\ ounces.$

<u><em>Total ounces of trail mix = 56.</em></u>

<u><em>Total number of hikers = 8.</em></u>

As given, Milton divides the trail mix equally among the 8 hikers.

So, to get the trail mix each hiker receive we divide total number of hikers by total ounces of trail mix:

$56\div 8$

$=7\ ounces.$

Therefore, 7 ounces of trail mix each hiker receive.

Vesna [10]

Answer:

The answer is "152 ft"

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attached file.

The area of the square $(8 \times 5=40)$ can be found on the foot.

The area of the triangular front will then be calculated $(6\times 4=\frac{24}{2} = 12).$

Since each has two sides, $24+80=104$ .

Therefore the multiplying the area of the bottom square $(6\times 8=48)$ by the number of cells to get 152.

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

0.25 or 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 possible outcomes for each die, which gives us 16 possible combinations (4 x 4). In order for the sum to exceed 5, the possible outcomes are:

Red = 3, and Green = 3

Red = 3, and Green = 4

Red = 4, and Green = 3

Red = 4, and Green = 4

Therefore, the probability of winning on a single play is:

$P=\frac{4}{16}\\P=0.25$

The probability is 0.25 or 25%.

What 2 numbers multiply to be -14 and add to be -3

Svetach [21]

Xy = -14
x + y = -3

$xy = -14$
$\frac{xy}{x} = \frac{-14}{x}$
$y = \frac{-14}{x}$

$x + y = -3$
$x + \frac{-14}{x} = -3$
$\frac{x^{2}}{x} + \frac{-14}{x} = -3$
$\frac{x^{2} - 14}{x} = -3$
$x^{2} - 14 = -3x$
$x^{2} + 3x - 14 = 0$
$x = \frac{-(3) \± \sqrt{(3)^{2} - 4(1)(-14)}}{2(1)}$
$x = \frac{-3 \± \sqrt{9 + 56}}{2}$
$x = \frac{-3 \± \sqrt{65}}{2}$
$x = \frac{-3 \± 8.06}{2}$
$x = -1.5 \± 4.03$
$x = -1.5 + 4.03$ $or$ $x = -1.5 - 4.03$
$x = 2.53$ $or$ $x = -5.53$

  x + y = -3
2.53 + y = -3
- 2.53 - 2.53
  y = -5.53
  (x, y) = (2.53, -5.53)

x + y = -3
  -5.53 + y = -3
+ 5.53   + 5.53
  y = 2.53
  (x, y) = (-5.53, 2.53)

The two numbers that multiply to -14 and add up to -3 are -5.53 and 2.53.
