Answer:

It would cost $ 34.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The cost of $\frac{3}{4}$ lb of chopped walnut = $ 3.45,

So, the cost of 1 lb of chopped walnut = $\frac{4}{3}\times 3.45$

$=4\times 1.15$

= $ 4.6,

Thus, the cost of 7.5 lbs of walnuts = 7.5 × cost of 1 b of walnut

= 7.5 × 4.6

= $ 34.5

Answer:

The cost of the 7.5 lbs of walnuts be $2.16 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

It costs $3.45 to buy $\frac{3}{4}$ lb of chopped walnuts.

i.e

$\$ 3.45 = \frac{3}{4}\ lb$

Now calculate the cost of one pound .

$Cost\ of\ one\ pound = \frac{3.45}{\frac{3}{4}}$

$Cost\ of\ one\ pound = \$ 0.2875$

Now calculated the cost of the 7.5 lbs of walnuts .

Cost of 7.5 lbs of walnuts = 7.5 × 0.2875

= $2.16 (Approx)

Therefore the cost of the 7.5 lbs of walnuts be $2.16 .

84 2/3% to a fraction in lowest terms

RoseWind [281]

The evaluation of 84 2/3% to a fraction in its lowest term is $\mathbf{ \dfrac{127}{150} }$

<h3>What is a fraction?</h3>

Fractions are sections or parts of a whole. They are divided into two parts, the numerator, and the denominator.

From the given information, we are to convert a mixed fraction into its lowest terms. By doing that, we are to convert it to an improper fraction.

$\mathbf{= 84 \dfrac{2}{3}\%}$

$\mathbf{= \dfrac{(84 \times 3)+2}{3} \%}$

$\mathbf{= \dfrac{254}{3} \%}$

$\mathbf{= \dfrac{254}{3} \times \dfrac{1}{100}}$

$\mathbf{= \dfrac{254}{300} }$

Divide both the numerator and denominator by (2)

$\mathbf{= \dfrac{127}{150} }$

If the sum of the even integers between 1 and k, inclusive, is equal to 2k, what is the value of k?

Alisiya [41]

If $k$ is odd, then

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{\lfloor k/2\rfloor}2n=2\dfrac{\left\lfloor\frac k2\right\rfloor\left(\left\lfloor\frac k2\right\rfloor+1\right)}2=\left\lfloor\dfrac k2\right\rfloor^2+\left\lfloor\dfrac k2\right\rfloor$

while if $k$ is even, then the sum would be

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{k/2}2n=2\dfrac{\frac k2\left(\frac k2+1\right)}2=\dfrac{k^2+2k}4$

The latter case is easier to solve:

$\dfrac{k^2+2k}4=2k\implies k^2-6k=k(k-6)=0$

which means $k=6$ .

In the odd case, instead of considering the above equation we can consider the partial sums. If $k$ is odd, then the sum of the even integers between 1 and $k$ would be

$S=2+4+6+\cdots+(k-5)+(k-3)+(k-1)$

Now consider the partial sum up to the second-to-last term,

$S^*=2+4+6+\cdots+(k-5)+(k-3)$

Subtracting this from the previous partial sum, we have

$S-S^*=k-1$

We're given that the sums must add to $2k$ , which means

$S=2k$
$S^*=2(k-2)$

But taking the differences now yields

$S-S^*=2k-2(k-2)=4$

and there is only one $k$ for which $k-1=4$ ; namely, $k=5$ . However, the sum of the even integers between 1 and 5 is $2+4=6$ , whereas $2k=10\neq6$ . So there are no solutions to this over the odd integers.
