Answer:

If there is "p" pounds of peanuts and "m" pounds of '20% peanuts and 80% almonds' mixture, then, we can get the following equations,

p + m = 10 -----------(1) and

4m/5 = 4 ------------(2)

whose solution is 5 lb peanuts and 5 lb mixture.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the mixture which Delaney wants to make there would be

\frac {10 \times 60}{100} lb

= 6 lb of peanuts

So, there will be (10 - 6) lb  

= 4 lb of almonds

If  Delaney has "p" pounds of peanuts and "m" pounds of the '20% peanuts and 80% almonds' mixture, then according to the question,

p + m = 10 -----------(1) and

4m/5 = 4 ------------(2)

So, from (2),

m = 5 --------------(3)

So, from (1) and (3) ,

p = (10 - 5) = 5

3# Find the missing variable (s). Round to the nearest tenth.
rewona [7]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:


This triangle is already positioned to match trig functions (also known as circular functions).


Point A is origin, side AC (length x) is on X axis,

side CB (length y) is parallel to Y axis.


***** You just remember *****


cos is horizontal, on X axis,

sin is vertical, on Y axis.

To get from unit triangle with hypotenuse 1,

horizontal side cos(θ), vertical side sin(θ), you multiply all sides by same number, namely, the specified length of the hypotenuse.


***** that's all you need to know *****


Draw a unit circle centered at A, mark point Y at intersection of circle and AB, and drop a vertical line from Y crossing X axis at X.


Then radial segment AY is 1, AB is 10

horizontal segment AX is cos(32°), AC is 10AX

vertical segment XY is sin(32°), CB is 10XY.


So x = 10 cos(32°), y= 10 sin(32°).
