A grocer wants to make a 10-pound mixture of peanuts and cashews that he can sell for $4.75 per pound. If peanuts cost $4.00 per

pound and cashews cost $6.50 per pound, how many pounds of each should he use? Let p = pounds of peanuts and let c = pounds of cashews. Write a system of equations that could be used to solve the problem.

The grocer wants to make a 10 pound mixture 
p - pounds of peanuts
c - pounds of cashews
therefore the total pounds should be equal to 10 pounds 
p + c = 10 -----> 1)
the cost for ;
peanuts - 4.00 per pound * p pounds = 4p
cashews - 6.50 per pound * c pounds = 6.5c
the price of 10 pounds mixture = 4.75 per pound * 10 pounds = 47.5
4p+6.5c = 47.5 ---> 2)

to solve for p and c lets use simultaneous equations 
p + c = 10 -----> 1)
4p+6.5c = 47.5 ---> 2)
multiply 1st equation by 4
4p + 4c = 40 ---> 3)
subtract 3rd equation from the 2nd
2.5c = 7.5
c = 3
substituting c= 3 in 1st equation
p+c = 10
p+3 = 10
p = 7
therefore 3 pounds of cashews and 7 pounds of peanuts are needed to make the mixture

How do you do 39 divided by 936 long division
viva [34]

936 <span>39 </span>= 24

24 = 240 to the nearest tenth

24 = 24 to the nearest hundredth

24 = 24 to the nearest thousandth

= 0 to the nearest tenth

= 0 to the nearest hundredth

= 0 to the nearest thousandth

PLEASE HELP 8th GRADE MATH QUESTION OVER HERE!!!

The side AB measures option 2. \sqrt{20}} units long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The coordinates of the given triangle ABC are A (4, 5), B (2, 1), and C (4, 1).

The sides of the triangle are AB, BC, and CA. We need to determine the length of AB.

To calculate the distance between two points, we use the formula d=\sqrt{\left(x_{2}-x_{1}\right)^{2}+\left(y_{2}-y_{1}\right)^{2}}.

where (x_{1},y_{1}) are the coordinates of the first point and (x_{2},y_{2}) are the coordinates of the second point.

Step 2:

For A (4, 5) and B (2, 1), (x_{1},y_{1}) = (4, 5) and (x_{2},y_{2}) = (2, 1). Substituting these values in the distance formula, we get

d=\sqrt{\left(2-4\right)^{2}+\left(1-5}\right)^{2}} = \sqrt{\left(2\right)^{2}+\left(4}\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{20}}.

So the side AB measures \sqrt{20}} units long which is the second option.

1. Do you the following side lengths form a right triangle?2. Which measurement is closest to the value of X in centimeters?
koban [17]

Answer:

Part 1:

Yes, the side lengths form a right triangle.

Part 2:

Option d 37.1 cm

Explanation:

We need to use the pythagorean theorem.

In part 1, if the 3 side lengths are a right triangle, then, they must verify:

7.5^2=4.5^2+6^2

By the theorem. Then:

\begin{gathered} 7.5^2=56.25 \\ 4.5^2+6^2=20.25+36=56.25 \end{gathered}

They're equal, then the lengths correspond to a right triangle.

For part 2, we need to use again the theorem. In this case:

\begin{gathered} 12^2+x^2=39^2 \\ x=\sqrt{1521-144} \\ x=\sqrt{1377} \\ x\approx37.1cm \end{gathered}
