Answer:
- 2 1/4 pounds of blueberries
Step-by-step explanation:
Blueberries - b, raspberries - x
<u>Equations as per question:</u>
<u>Eliminate b and solve for x:</u>
- 1/5x = x - 1 4/5
- x - 1/5x = 1 4/5
- 4/5x = 9/5
- x = 9/5 : 4/5
- x = 9/5 *5/4
- x = 9/4
- x = 2 1/4
So what I would do is first multiply the mean by 4 and that is the total u need, 146.5, to have a mean of 36 and 5/8. Next I add the lengths given, which is 110.625, and then I would subtract it from 146.5 which is 35.875 which is 35 and 7/8. You can also check the answer by finding the mean of the 4 numbers and determining if it comes out to 36 and 5/8. The answer is C. Hope this helps!
Hey,
So we have to solve this in multiple steps. Step 1 is to find the circumference of the semi-circle and multiply by three since there are three. Step 2 would be to find the perimeter of the rectangle. Step 3 would be to add those two together.
Step 1: To find the circumference of the semicircle use the formula pi (3.14) times radius (8 ÷ 2 = 4) times 2. After that we will divide by two since there is only half. After that we will multiply that answer by three.
C = 3.14 x 4 x 2
C = 12.56 x 2
C = 25.12
C = 25.12 ÷ 2
C = 12.56
Perimeter = 12.56 x 3 = 37.68
Step 2: To find the perimeter of the rectangle/square add all the sides (8).
Perimeter = 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 32
Step 3: Now add the two previous answers to get the final perimeter.
37.68 + 32 = 69.68
Final Answer: 69.68
Hope this helped!
