Let the fruit mixture of $5.7 per pound be for x pounds.

The nut of $14.55 per pound would then be:   (10 -x).

Since the total blend of both = 10 pounds, selling for $9.24 per pound.

cost of 1st type + cost of second type = Total cost of blend mixture

5.7*x  +    14.55*(10 - x) = 9.24*10

5.7x + 145.5 - 14.55x = 92.4

5.7x - 14.55x = 92.4 - 145.5

-8.85x = -53.1

x =  -53.1/-8.85

x = 6

The other  will be (10 -x) = 10 - 6 = 4.  

She should use 6 lb of fruit mixture and 4 lb of nuts.

the length of a rectangle is twice its width the perimeter is 48 cm what are the dimensions of the rectangle
inysia [295]

Answer:

The length=16cm and the width=8cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the length is twice the breadth or width of the rectangle

Let's assume that the breadth of the rectangle is x.

Thus the length is 2x.

Given perimeter=48cm

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2(l+b) where l is length and b is breadth.

2(x+2x)=48

(3x)=48/2

3x=24

x=8cm

2x=16cm
