Mariah spent $9.50 on 9 pounds of limes and pears. Limes cost $0.50 per pound and pears cost $1.50 per pound. Let l be the numbe

r of pounds of limes and let p be the number of pounds of pears.
The system of linear equations that models this scenario is:

l + p = 9

0.5l + 1.5p = 9.5

Answer:

4 pounds of lime and 5 pounds of pears

Step-by-step explanation:

I + P = 9

0.5l + 1.5P = 9.5

I = 9 - P

0.5(9 - P) + 1.5P = 9.5

4.5-0.5P + 1.5P = 9.5

4.5 + P (1P) = 9.5

P = 9.5-4.5 = 5

I = 9 - 5 = 4

Answer: 4 pounds of lime and 5 pounds of pears

Drag tiles to fill in the blanks to complete the expression that could be used to predict the number of winners of a game. Tiles
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

First blank - A)Total Number of Possible Outcomes

Second blank - B)Number of Winners

Step-by-step explanation:

The exact question is as follows :

We know that,

Probability of an event is equals to Total number of Favorable outcomes divided by Total number of outcomes

So,

P(event) = Number of favorable outcomes ÷ Total Number of Possible Outcomes

As we have to predict the Number of winners of a game

So,

P(Number of winner) = Number of winners ÷ Total number of Contestants

∴ we get

P(event) = Number of favorable outcomes ÷ Total Number of Possible  Outcomes

             = Number of winners ÷ Total number of Contestants

Taya2010 [7]

She needs 3 3/4 cups more

Step-by-step explanation:

(I think you accidently put the 18 3/4 part twice) but anyways if you add 3/4 and 1/2 you get 1 and 1/4 that will be important later then you do 18 + 6 = 24 and then add your 1 and 1/4 to get a total of 25 1/4 then you just minus that from 29 and get 3 and 3/4

Hope this Helps!
