Answer: He sold 10 pounds of cashews .

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Selling price of walnuts = $4.00 a pound

Selling price of cashews = $7.00 a pound

Number of pounds of walnuts = 10

Let number of pounds of cashew be x

Total price at which he sold a mixture = $5.50

According to question,

10\times 4+x\times 7=(10+x)\times 5.50\\\\40+7x=55+5.5x\\\\7x-5.5x=55-40\\\\1.5x=15\\\\x=\frac{15}{1.5}\\\\x=10

Hence, he sold 10 pounds of cashews .

6 pennies, 12 nickels, 8 dimes, 4 quarters = 30 coins

a) add the probability for drawing a dime and drawing a quarter together:
12/30 + 4/30 = 16/30 = 8/15
The probability is 8/15 or 53%

b) multiply the probability for drawing a penny and drawing a nickel:
6/30 x 12/30 = 72/900 = 2/25
The probability is 2/25 or 8%

c) multiply the probability for drawing quarters but take away one of the total coins and the amount of quarters each time:
4/30 x 3/29 x 2/28 = 24/24360 = 1/1015
The probability is 1/1015 or 0.099%

Tan(2 sin^-1 0.4)<br> Find the Exact value
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

tan(2u)=[4sqrt(21)]/[17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let u=arcsin(0.4)

tan(2u)=sin(2u)/cos(2u)

tan(2u)=[2sin(u)cos(u)]/[cos^2(u)-sin^2(u)]

If u=arcsin(0.4), then sin(u)=0.4

By the Pythagorean Identity, cos^2(u)+sin^2(u)=1, we have cos^2(u)=1-sin^2(u)=1-(0.4)^2=1-0.16=0.84.

This also implies cos(u)=sqrt(0.84) since cosine is positive.

Plug in values:

tan(2u)=[2(0.4)(sqrt(0.84)]/[0.84-0.16]

tan(2u)=[2(0.4)(sqrt(0.84)]/[0.68]

tan(2u)=[(0.4)(sqrt(0.84)]/[0.34]

tan(2u)=[(40)(sqrt(0.84)]/[34]

tan(2u)=[(20)(sqrt(0.84)]/[17]

Note:

0.84=0.04(21)

So the principal square root of 0.04 is 0.2

Sqrt(0.84)=0.2sqrt(21).

tan(2u)=[(20)(0.2)(sqrt(21)]/[17]

tan(2u)=[(20)(2)sqrt(21)]/[170]

tan(2u)=[(2)(2)sqrt(21)]/[17]

tan(2u)=[4sqrt(21)]/[17]

Nastasia [14]

Answer:45 * t = 2.5 * (1-t)...the equation will have one solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case, the first thing you should know is:

d: v * t

Where,

d: distance

v: speed

t: time

To go to school by bus we have:

d = 45 * t

To return from school we have:

d = 2.5 * (1-t)

how the distance is the same:45 * t = 2.5 * (1-t)

A 20 ft. ladder is used against a 15 ft. wall. What is the measure of the angle made by the ladder and the ground (nearest whole
Brrunno [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The length of a ladder, H = 20 feet

The height of the wall, h = 15 ft

We know that,

\sin\theta=\dfrac{h}{H}

h is perpendicular and H is hypotenuse

So,

\sin\theta=\dfrac{15}{20}\\\\\theta=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{15}{20})\\\\\theta=48.59^{\circ}

Now using Pythagoras theoerm,

b=\sqrt{H^2-h^2}\\\\b=\sqrt{20^2-15^2}\\\\b=13.2\ ft

Hence, the angle made by the ladder and the ground is 48.59° and the ladder is 13.2 feet from the wall on the ground.
