Answer:

type of nut = 10.

Different type of nut = 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 pound = $5.37

24 pound = 5.37 * 24

= $128.88.

Let X be the type of nut and Y be the different one.

Value of the nuts in dollars,

i. 7X + 4.2Y = 128.88

Weight of the nuts in pounds,

ii. X + Y = 24

Rearranging ii,

X = 24 - Y inputting into i,

7(24 - Y) + 4.2Y = 128.88

168 - 7Y + 4.2Y = 128.88

2.8Y = 39.12

Y = 14

Inputting the value of Y into ii,

X = 24 - 14

= 10

Answer:

a type nut is 10 pounds

a different one is 14 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

let a type of the nut be represented by t

Let a different one be represented by d

a type of nut cost $7 per pound

a different one cost $4.20 per pound

The cost of the mixture for 24 pounds = 5.37 * 24

= $128.88

t + d = 24 ........(1)

7t + 4.2d = 128.88 ..........(2)

From equation (1), t = 24 - d

Put t = 24 - d in equation 2

7(24 - d) + 4.2d = 128.88

168 - 7d + 4.2d = 128.88

168 - 2.8d = 128.88

-2.8d = 128.88 - 168

-2.8d = -39.12

d = -39.12 / -2.8

d= 13.97

d = 14 pounds

t = 24 - d

t = 24 - 14

t = 10 pounds

A type nut is 10 pounds. A different one is 14 pounds

Each marble bag sold by Hans's Marble Company contains 8 purple marbles for every 5 green marbles. If a bag has 30 green marbles
gregori [183]

We can set up a proportion since we know the ratio between the # of purple marbles and the # of green marbles.

A ratio is a way to compare two different values: for every 8 purple marbles there are 5 green marbles

<h2>\frac{8}{5} = \frac{p}{30}</h2><h2 /><h2>when we cross multiply, we get 5p = 240 </h2><h2>we divide both sides by 5 to isolate the variable </h2><h2 /><h3><u>There are 48 purple marbles </u></h3>

The answer is "Design B bulbs will likely last longer than design A bulbs."

The box in a box plot represents the middle 50% of the data. The box for the design B bulbs is farther out than the box for the design A bulbs. Therefore, design B bulbs last longer on average than design A bulbs.

Answer

Find out the how long will it take the submarine to descend to the ocean floor

To proof

Formula

r = \frac{d}{t}

where  d  =  distance traveled (or descended),

r  = rate of travel , t  = time

As given

A submarine descends at a rate of 2.6 kilometers per hour. If the ocean floor is 6.24 kilometers below sea level .

put all the values in the above formula

2.6 = \frac{6.24}{t}

t = \frac{6.24}{2.6}

t = 2.4 hour

it take 2.4 hours the submarine to descend to the ocean floor .

Hence proved
