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

hocolate chips. If Milton divides the trail mix equally among the 8 hikers in the group, how many ounces of trail mix does each hiker receive? Show your work.

Answer:

Each hiker will get 7 oz of mix.

Step-by-step explanation:

Trail is mixed with peanuts = $1\frac{1}{4}$ pounds

Since 1 pound = 16 oz

$1\frac{1}{4}$ pounds peanuts = $\frac{16\times 5}{4}$ = 20 oz

Raisins = 14 oz

Walnuts = 12 oz

Chocolate chips = 10 oz

Total amount of trial mix = 20 + 14 + 12 + 10 = 56 oz

Now Milton divides this mix among 8 hikers so amount of mix each hiker received = $\frac{56}{8}$

= 7 oz

Therefore, each hiker will get 7 oz of mix.

1 1/4 lb peanuts = 20 oz.
20 oz. peanut + 12 oz. walnut + 10 oz chocolate chips = 42 oz. trail mix
42 oz trail mix <span>÷ 8 hikers = 5.25 oz trail mix per</span> hiker

QUESTION 1

We want to solve,

$\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{x^{2}-6x+8}$

We factor the denominator of the fraction on the right hand side to get,

$\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{x^{2}-4x - 2x+8}.$

This implies
$\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{x(x-4) - 2(x - 4)}.$

$\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{(x-4)(x - 2)}$

We multiply through by LCM of
$(x-4)(x - 2)$

$(x - 2) + x(x-4) = 2$

We expand to get,

$x - 2 + {x}^{2} - 4x= 2$

We group like terms and equate everything to zero,

${x}^{2} + x - 4x - 2 - 2 = 0$

We split the middle term,

${x}^{2} + - 3x - 4 = 0$

We factor to get,

${x}^{2} + x - 4x- 4 = 0$

$x(x + 1) - 4(x + 1) = 0$

$(x + 1)(x - 4) = 0$

$x + 1 = 0 \: or \: x - 4 = 0$

$x = - 1 \: or \: x = 4$

But
$x = 4$
is not in the domain of the given equation.

It is an extraneous solution.

$\therefore \: x = - 1$
is the only solution.

QUESTION 2

$\sqrt{x+11} -x=-1$

We add x to both sides,

$\sqrt{x+11} =x-1$

We square both sides,

$x + 11 = (x - 1)^{2}$

We expand to get,

$x + 11 = {x}^{2} - 2x + 1$

This implies,

${x}^{2} - 3x - 10 = 0$

We solve this quadratic equation by factorization,

${x}^{2} - 5x + 2x - 10 = 0$

$x(x - 5) + 2(x - 5) = 0$

$(x + 2)(x - 5) = 0$

$x + 2 = 0 \: or \: x - 5 = 0$

$x = - 2 \: or \: x = 5$

But
$x = - 2$
is an extraneous solution

$\therefore \: x = 5$

How to multiply a whole number by a fraction like 4/6 x 4 etc .

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

See below, please!

Step-by-step explanation:

To multiply a whole number by a fraction, set up both numbers so that they have a numerator and denominator, multiply the corresponding parts, and simplify.

Ex: $\frac{4}{6}*\frac{4}{1}$ . Both of them are in fraction form, right? Now multiply the numerator and denominator together. Doing this, you get 16/6. Now simplify. Look for a common factor between both the numerator and denominator. We can see that one common factor is 2. So, our simplified fraction is 8/3.

Hope this helped!

Y-4x=3. 2x-3y=21 can someone help

mars1129 [50]

Y-4X =3 ; 2x-3y=21

Y= 3+ 4x

2x -3( 3+4x)= 21

2x- 9- 12x= 21

-10x -9= 21

-10x -9+9= 21+9

-10x = 30

X= 30/-10= -3

Y= 3+4x = 3+ 4* (-3)= 3-12= -9
