Answer:

18 pounds of cashews are needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

A manager bought 12 pounds of peanuts for $30.

Price of peanut per pound P = $30/12 = $2.5

Price of cashew per pound C = $5

Price of mixed nut per pound M = $4

Let x represent the proportion of peanut in the mixed nut.

The proportion of cashew will then be y = (1-x), so;

xP + (1-x)C = M

Substituting the values;

x(2.5) + (1-x)5 = 4

2.5x + 5 -5x = 4

2.5x - 5x = 4 -5

-2.5x = -1

x = 1/2.5 = 0.4

Proportion of cashew is;

y = 1-x = 1-0.4 = 0.6

For 12 pounds of peanut the corresponding pounds of cashew needed is;

A = 12/x × y

A = 12/0.4 × 0.6 = 18 pounds

18 pounds of cashews are needed.

That means when x=0
e^-0.2x =e^0=1
So f(0)=15/5=3

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

If DG, EG and FG are perpendicular bisectors of the sides of triangle ABC, then point G is the circumcenter of the triangle ABC and

BG = AG = CG as radii of the circumcirle.

Consider right triangle BEG. By the Pythagorean theorem,

BG^2=EG^2+BE^2\\ \\BG^2=4^2+3^2\\ \\BG^2 =16+9\\ \\BG^2=25\\ \\BG=5\ units

This gives us that

AG = BG = 5 units

Find the range of the given data set. 5/8, 3/4, 1 1/8, 1 1/4 A)5/8 B)3/4 C)1 1/8
rodikova [14]

Answer:

A)5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

  • <em>The range of a set of data is the difference between the highest and lowest values in the set. </em>

<u>Given data set:</u>

  • 5/8, 3/4, 1 1/8, 1 1/4

<u>Rewriting the data set in the same denominator to compare:</u>

  • 5/8, 6/8, 9/8, 10/8

<u>As we see the smallest value is 5/8 and the highest value is 10/8, so the difference:</u>

  • 10/8 - 5/8 = 5/8

So, the range of the given data set is 5/8

<u>Correct choice is</u>: A)5/8
