Now you have
<u />
<u>(.15)0.5 lb peanuts</u>     =     <u>0.075 lb peanuts</u>
0.5 lb  nuts                              0.5 lb nuts

for every pound of 75% mixed nuts you add, you get .75 lb peanuts, how many pounds, x, do you need to add to get the ratio 50 to 100?

<u>0.075 lb peanuts + 0.75x lb peanuts</u><em>       =    <u /></em><u>   50   </u><u>
</u>0.5 lb nuts + x lb nuts                                      100

cross multiply

(0.075 + .75x) 100 = (0.5 + x) 50
7.5 + 75x = 25 + 50x
25x = 17.5
x = 0.7 lb of 75% peanuts

Find the side of a square whose diagonal is of the given measure.<br> Given = 15.2 cm
Neko [114]

Answer:

15cm

Step-by-step explanation:

First, a square's diagonal is basically the hypotenuse of a 45-45-90 triangle. a 45-45-90 triangle has a really special relationship, where the side length is x, and the diagonal is x \sqrt{2}. So, the side length is 15.

A glass is 1 3 full. Then 40cm3 of orange juice is poured in. The glass is now 5 7 full. What is the total volume of the glass?
Effectus [21]

Answer:

V= 105cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

V=volume

(1/3)V+40=(5/7)V

(5/7)V-(1/3)V=40

(15/21)V-(7/21)V=40

(8/21)V=40

(21/8)(8/21)V=(21/8)(40

V=21*5

V=105 cm3

(1/3)(105)=35, 35+40=75, 75/105=15/21=5/7
