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. If a snail moves
Mila [183]
Hi there!

We know that the snail lives 1 x 1/2 feet in 3 x 3/4 hours. First you have to simplify or solve the expressions. 1 x 1/2 is equal to 1/2 and 3 x 3/4 is 9/4 or 2.25 in decimal form.

You need to divide 2.25 by 1/2 or 0.5 which is 4.5.

So the snail moves 4.5 or 9/2 feet per hour.

Hope this helps !
