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

Step-by-step explanation:

2.

the volume of the box is

length × width × height = 13×13×13 = 13³ = 2197 cm³

the ratio of the density indignation tells us that every cm³ of soil weighs 1.33 g (or every unit of 1.33g soil fits into 1 cm³).

we have 2197 cm³.

their weight is

2197 × 1.33 = 2,922.01 g

so, the filled box clearly exceeds the max. weight of the window ledge, and it is NOT safe to put it there.

b

yes, it would be a little bit less dense.

because every bit of weight you put on top of something increases the pressure on and therefore the density of that something.
