Answer: 2.5 pounds of beef  and 3.25 pounds of pork

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, the answer is incomplete because is lacking how much more pork she bought. <em>She bought 0.75 pounds more pork than beef and spends $15.25</em>, is the complete form.

So, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

  • <em>Beef: $3.50 per pound </em>
  • <em>Pork: $2.00 per pound </em>
  • <em>Pounds of beef = x </em>
  • <em>Pounds of pork = x + 0.75 </em>
  • <em>Total cost : $15.25</em>

So, the equation is:

3.50x + 2 (x+0.75) = 15.25

3.50x +2x + 1.5 =15.25

5.50 x = 15.25 -1.5

5.50x = 13.75

x = 13.75/5.50  

x = 2.5 pounds of beef

Replacing the value of x in the Pork's equation:

Pounds of pork = x +0.75 = 0.75 +2.5 = 3.25 pounds of pork

In an isosceles right triangle, the side length ratios are ...

  1 : 1 : √2 = x : x : 8√2

The latter ratios will match the first ratios when x=8.

That is, x = (8√2)/(√2) = 8.
