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

You Will Add Up All The Number Then Divide By The Total Number You Have In All
The Mean Is 185
You Put All The Number In Order For The Median 
140,167,185,188,193,195,200,212
So You Have Two Number Which Are 188 and 195 
You Will Add 188 + 195=383
Now You Divide 383 By 2 Which Is 191.5

Which expression iWhich expression is equivalent to x + 8 + 4x + 2x for all values of x?s equivalent to x + 8 + 4x + 2x for all
NikAS [45]

Answer:

A = l * w. We can substitute the expressions for length and width into the equation for area ... values in the formula for perimeter, we will get. P = 2l + 2w. P = 2(5)+2(3) P = 10+6 ... L = 18 cm. B = 7 cm. Perimeter of rectangle = 2(length + breadth) P = 2 (L + B) ... Total time taken = Total distance walked × time taken to walk 1m.

Find the sum and difference (first mixed number minus the second mixed number) for the following pair of mixed numbers. The answ
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Sum = 15 8/15, Difference = 1 2/15

Step-by-step explanation:

8⅓, 71/5

A. Sum

8⅓ + 7 1/5

Convert to improper fraction

25/3 + 36/5

Find the LCM of 3 and 5. The result is 15. Divide 15 by the denominator of each fraction and multiply the result obtained with the numerator. The result is shown below:

[(25×5) + (36×3)] / 15

[125 + 108] / 15

233 / 15

Convert to mixed fraction

15 8/15

B. Difference

8⅓ – 7 1/5

Convert to improper fraction

25/3 – 36/5

Find the LCM of 3 and 5. The result is 15. Divide 15 by the denominator of each fraction and multiply the result obtained with the numerator. The result is shown below:

[(25×5) – (36×3)] / 15

[125 – 108] / 15

17 / 15

Convert to mixed fraction

1 2/15

SUMMARY:

Sum = 15 8/15, Difference = 1 2/15
