Answer: He bought 0.5 pounds of chocolate-covered pretzels and 1.3 pounds of gumdrops.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Troy bought x pounds of chocolate-covered pretzels and y pounds of gumdrops.

Since, the total pounds he bought = 1.8 pounds,

That is, x + y = 1.8  ------------(1)

Also, he total spent total 1.29 dollars in which Chocolate-covered pretzels sell for $0.89 per pound, and gumdrops sell for $0.65 per pound.

That is, 0.89 x + 0.65 y = 1.29  -----------(2),

0.89 x × Equation(1),

We get,

0.89 x + 0.89 y = 1.602  ------------(3)

Equation(2)-equation(3),

We get, 0.24 y = 0.312 ⇒ y = 1.3

By Substituting this value in equation (1),

x = 1.8 -1.3 ⇒ x = 0.5

Thus, he bought chocolate-covered pretzels, x = 0.5 pounds,

And, gumdrops, y = 1.3 pounds.

What is m∠A ? Enter your answer in the box.
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

The measure of angle A is 115°

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The sum of the internal angles of a triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

so

∠C+∠A+∠B=180°

substitute values and solve for x

x°+(3x-35)°+(x-35)°=180°

5x°=180°+70°

x=250°/5=50°

Find the measure of angle A

∠A=(3x-35)°

substitute the value of x

∠A=(3(50)-35)=115°

Which equations show inverse operations of each other? Choose exactly two answers that are correct. 16×1/4  =4     1/4 ÷4 =116  
qaws [65]

Answer:

6 × 1/4 = 4

4 × 1/4 = 1

4 ÷ 1/4 = 16

All three of these are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

16 × 1/4 = 4

16/4 = 4

4 = 4


1/4 ÷ 4 = 116

1/4 × 1/4 = 116

1/16 ≠ 116


4 x 1/4 = 1

4/4 = 1

1 = 1


4 ÷ 1/4 = 16

4 × 4 = 16

16 = 16
