Number of pounds of cashews is 36 pounds and number of pounds of walnuts is 4 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Given details are cost of cashews = $1.58, cost of walnuts = 78 cents = $0.78, total weight of nuts = 40 pounds, cost of nuts per pound = $1.50
  • Step 2: Let number of pounds of cashews to be mixed be C, then number of pounds of walnuts will 40 - C. Form equation with these variables.

⇒ 1.58 C + (40-C) 0.78 = 40 × 1.50

⇒ 1.58 C + 31.2 - 0.78 C = 60

⇒ 1.58 C - 0.78 C = 60 - 31.2

⇒ 0.8 C = 28.8

⇒ C = 36 pounds

  • Step 3: Calculate number of pounds of walnuts

⇒ Number of pounds of walnuts = 40 - C = 4 pounds

Answer:

A: 360

Step-by-step explanation:

Split the trapezoid into 2 shapes

Then find the area of the rectangle on the left:

18 × 15 = 270 square yards

Now for the triangle, first find the base by subtracting the 2 parallel lines:

25 - 15 = 10 yards

0.5(10 × 18) = 90 square yards

Add both areas to find total area:

270 + 90 = 360 square yards

All this can be seen in the figure below:

-0.85-0.85+-3.9=-8.15
gregori [183]
<h2>False</h2>

Due to the fact that the answer we got here is incorrect, this statement is false.

First, subtract -0.85 and -0.85, we get:

-1.7

Then, add -1.7 and -3.9, we get:

-5.6

It is important to note that the answer in the statement is written as “-8.15” which is incorrect.

The correct answer is -5.6

This is why the answer is

<h3>False</h3>

<em>Hope this helps :)</em>

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Hello,

Step-by-step explanation:

u(i) is the ith term of the a.s

a is the first term and d the common difference

for n in {1,2,3...}: u(n)=a+(n-1)*d

u(1)=a+0*d=a

u(2)=u(1)+d=a+d=a+1*d

u(3)=u(2)+d=a+1*d+d=a+2*d

...

u(20)=a+19*d
