Answer:
Almonds cost $8 per pound and Cashews cost $10 per pound.
Assuming pounds of Almonds are denoted as a and Cashews are c, the formula will be:
8a + 10c = 60
Only Cashews:
This means that Almonds would be zero.
8(0) + 10c = 60
10c = 60
c = 60/10
c = 6 pounds of cashews
Only Almonds
8 * a + 10(0) = 60
8a = 60
a = 60/8
a = 7.5 pounds of almonds
A mixture of both.
We can use the formula above to calculate how many of each she can buy but she cannot buy more than 7.5 almonds or more than 6 cashews as she does not have enough money on her.
Assuming she wanted to buy 5 pounds of almonds, she would be able to buy:
8 * 5 + 10c = 60
40 + 10c = 60
10c = 60 - 40
c = 20/10
c = 2 pounds of cashews
Answer:8
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for a triangle is base times height times 1/2 so if 8 times 6 gives you 48 once you divide it by two it gives you 24
0.4 is the divisor, or whichever number is under the fraction. This is because the denominator of any fraction is always the divisor of the numerator of the fraction.
