ANSWER

Alex needs to mix one pound of dried fruit with
1 \frac{1}{9}
pounds of walnuts.

EXPLANATION

It was given that, Alex mixes
\frac{2}{3}
pounds of walnuts with

\frac{3}{5}
pounds of dried fruit.


We can write the ratio,

\frac{2}{3} :  \frac{3}{5}

Let
x
represent how many pounds of walnuts Alex needs to mix with one pound of dried fruit.


Then we can again write the ratio,

x: 1
We can therefore write the proportion,


\frac{2}{3} :  \frac{3}{5}  = x: 1

This can be rewritten as,

\frac{ \frac{2}{3} }{ \frac{3}{5} }  =  \frac{x}{1}

We solve for x to obtain,

\frac{2}{3}  \times  \frac{5}{3}  = x


This implies that,

x =  \frac{10}{9}

x = 1 \frac{1}{9}

Hence Alex needs to mix
1\frac{1}{9}
pounds of walnuts with one pound of dried fruit.

An animals heart beats 80 beats per minute how many minutes does it take to beat a million times?
Klio2033 [76]

The key calculation in this problem is figuring out <em>how many times 80 goes into 1,000,000</em>. I'll build up in steps here.

80 x 5 = 400. This gives us a building block on our way to 1,000,000. From here, we can go further and say that 400 x 5 = 2,000; that 2,000 x 5 = 10,000; and finally that 10,000 x 100 = 1,000,000. Altogether, starting from 80, that's

80 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 100 = 80 x 25 x 500 = <em>80 x 12,500</em>

So, since 80 goes into one million 12,500 times, it takes 12,500 minutes for the animal's heart to beat that 1,000,000 times.
