Carmine mixes 2.8 pounds of cashews with almonds to make a trail mix. He divides the trail mix into 5 equal portions. Each porti
on weighs 1.5 pounds. Which equation and solution shows the total amount of almonds he used in the mixture? One-fifth (2.8 + a) = 1.5 (5); a = 34.7 pounds of almonds One-fifth (2.8 + a) = 1.5; a = 4.7 pounds of almonds One-fifth (2.8 + a) = 1.5 (5); a = 4.7 pounds of almonds One-fifth (2.8 + a) = 1.5; a = 34.7 pounds of almonds
There are 5+4+3 = 12 fruits in total. There are 4+3 = 7 non orange fruits. Probability of not choosing an orange = number of non-orange objects/total number of objects = 7/12.
