Answer:
9 1/9 per cousin
Step-by-step explanation:
if the aunt has 58 items to be distributed to 6 cousins, we would set a fraction of 58/6. performing that is 9 with 4/6 left over.
since there is 6 cousins, there will be 2/3 divided by 6 = 2/18, or 1/9
4 (0.5f - 0.25) = 6 + f
2.0f - 1.0 = 6.0 + f
1.00f = 6.0 + f
f = -5.0
hope this is right,

The cost for each pound of trail mix and each pound of jelly is given below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t = cost/pound of trail mix
Let j = cost/pound of jelly beans
5t + 6j = 35
3t + 2j = 15 = > 2j = 15 - 3t
5t + 3(15 - 3t) = 35
5t + 45 - 9t = 35
- 4t + 45 = 35
- 4t = - 10
4t = 10
t = 2.5
3(2.5) + 2j = 15
7.5 + 2j = 15
2j = 7.5
j = 3.75
