Marcy needs to make 5 lb of a cashew/raisin mixture for a party. Her local grocery store sells raisins for $4.50/lb and cashews
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Pounds of raisins = 1.5 lb

Pounds of cashew = 3.5 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Pounds of raisins = x

Pounds of cashew = y

x + y = 5 (1)

4.50x + 9.50y = 40 (2)

From (1)

x = 5 - y

Substitute x = 5 - y into

4.50x + 9.50y = 40

4.50(5 - y) + 9.50y = 40

22.50 - 4.50y + 9.50y = 40

- 4.50y + 9.50y = 40 - 22.50

5y = 17.5

y = 17.5 / 5

= 3.5

y = 3.5lb

Substitute y = 3.5 into

x + y = 5

x + 3.5 = 5

x = 5 - 3.5

= 1.5

x = 1.5lb

Pounds of raisins = 1.5 lb

Pounds of cashew = 3.5 lb

If 36 is 25% of the total, what is the total?
Alexandra [31]
Answer:144
Explanation: 25% of the total in other words means that it is 1/4 (a quarter). You could just multiply 36 by 4 to get the total (100%). If u want to verify, just multiply 144 by 0.25 and u should get 36.

<h2>19.</h2><h3>Given</h3>
  • window width and height are in proportion to building width and height
  • window width and height are 11 in and 18 in, respectively
  • building height is 108 ft
<h3>Find</h3>
  • building width
<h3>Solution</h3>

The proportional relation can be written as

... (building width)/(building height) = (window width)/(window height)

Multiplying by (building height) gives

... (building width) = (building heigh) × (window width)/(window height)

... (building width) = 108 ft × (11 in)/(18 in)

... building width = 66 ft

<h2>21.</h2><h3>Given</h3>
  • map distance = 6.75 in
  • map scale = 1.5 in : 5 mi
<h3>Find</h3>
  • actual distance
<h3>Solution</h3>

The distances are in proportion, so

... (map distance) : (actual distance) = 1.5 in : 5 mi

Multiplying by (5 mi)/(1.5 in)×(actual distance), we have

... (5 mi)/(1.5 in)×(6.75 in) = (actual distance) = 22.5 mi

The 5th term in a geometric sequence is 120. The 7th term is 30. What are the possible values of the 6th term of the sequence.
klemol [59]

Answer:

± 60

Step-by-step explanation:

aₙ = a₁ * rⁿ⁻¹

a₇ = 30 = a₁ * r⁷⁻¹ = a₁ * r⁶     (1)

a₅ = 120 = a₁ * r⁵⁻¹ = a₁ * r⁴     (2)

(1)/(2): 30/120 = 1/4 = r²

r = ± 1/2   or ± 0.5

a₁ = a₇/r⁶ = 30/0.5⁶ = 1920

a₆ = 1920 * (± 1/2)⁶⁻¹ = 1920 * ± 1/32 = ± 60
