Almonds: 20
Walnuts:
Pecans:40

Since the ratios are 4,3, and 8, the best way to do it is to use a proportion.

\frac{40}{8} = \frac{x}{3}

So yeah what you do it cross multiply and get 120=8x
divide by 8 and get 15.
15 ounces of walnuts.

Now for total just find the last part.
Since 4 is half of 8, the number of ounces is half of 40, which is 20.
So 20+40+15? You guessed it 75 ounces of Granola.

Hope that made sense.

almond37 [142]

Answer:

Width=27inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Width=w

Length=28 inches

Perimeter=110 inches

Perimeter of a rectangle=2(length+width)

110=2(28+w)

110=56+2

110-56=2w

54=2w

Divide both sides by 2

54/2=2w/2

27=w

Therefore,

Width=27inches

Expand the following by removing the brackets <br> -2 (3x + 4) <br>m ( my -3)​
olasank [31]

Answer:

-6x-8

m^2y-3m

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first one we simply need to multiply both figures in the bracket by the outer number.

For the second one we do the same thing but as there is an "m" in the bracket and an "m" outside the bracket, this makes a square "^2" which is essentially a figure multiplied by itself.
