Answer:

Cashew 12.5lb

Peanuts 37.5lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pounds of cashewnuts and peanuts be c and p respectively.

Firstly, the total mass of the nuts is 50.

This means:

c + p = 50

Now let’s work with the money

4p + 7c = 4.75(50)

From the first equation, let c = 50 - p

Substitute this into the second equation.

4p + 7(50 - p) = 237.5

4p + 350 - 7p = 237.5

3p = 112.5

P = 112.5/3 = 37.5lb

For Cashew c = 50 - p = 50 - 37.5 = 12.5lb

What is the rate of change of the linear function represented by the table? StartFraction one Over three EndFraction StartFracti
Lynna [10]

The rate of change of the linear function represented by the table is 3

<h3>Rate of change of a function</h3>

The rate of change of a function is also known as the slope of a function. The equation for calculating the slope is expressed as:

Slope = y2-y1/x2-x1

using the coordinates from the table (-2, -13) and (-1, -10)

Substitute

Slope = -10-(-13)/-1-(-2)

Slope = -10+13/-1+2

Slope =3

Hence the rate of change of the linear function represented by the table is 3
