The gift bag contains 5 ounces of peppermint candies and 11 ounces of chocolate mint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of peppermint candies per ounce = 6 cents

Cost of chocolate mint = 22 cents

Cost of bag = $2.72 = 2.72*100 = 272 cents

Weight of bag = 16 ounce

Let,

x be the ounces of peppermint candies

y be the ounces of chocolate mint

x+y=16     Eqn 1

6x+22y=272    Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 6

6(x+y=16)\\6x+6y=96\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(6x+22y)-(6x+6y)=272-96\\6x+22y-6x-6y=176\\16y=176

Dividing both sides by 16

\frac{16y}{16}=\frac{176}{16}\\y=11

Putting y=11 in Eqn 1

x+11=16\\x=16-11\\x=5

The gift bag contains 5 ounces of peppermint candies and 11 ounces of chocolate mint.

Paul drinks 6 cups of coffee each day. Each cup contains 275 milliliters of coffee. How
scZoUnD [109]
<h3>Answer:  11.55 liters</h3>

=================================================

Work Shown:

275 mL = 275/1000 = 0.275 L

1 cup = 0.275 L

6 cups = 6*0.275 L = 1.65 L

He drinks 1.65 L per day, so over 7 days he drinks a total of 7*1.65 = 11.55 liters.

Lim x--&gt; 0 (e^x(sinx)(tax))/x^2
Tom [10]

Make use of the known limit,

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sin x}x=1

We have

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to0}\frac{e^x\sin x\tan x}{x^2}=\left(\lim_{x\to0}\frac{e^x}{\cos x}\right)\left(\lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sin^2x}{x^2}\right)

since \tan x=\dfrac{\sin x}{\cos x}, and the limit of a product is the same as the product of limits.

\dfrac{e^x}{\cos x} is continuous at x=0, and \dfrac{e^0}{\cos 0}=1. The remaining limit is also 1, since

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sin^2x}{x^2}=\left(\lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sin x}x\right)^2=1^2=1

so the overall limit is 1.

Could someone please help me with this?
allsm [11]

Answer:

21.5 mm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the area of the square

A = s^2 = 10^2 =100

Then find the area of the circle

d = 10 so r = d/2 = 10/2 =5

A = pi r^2

A = 3.14 (5)^2 =78.5

The difference is the shaded region

100-78.5 =21.5
