Answer:
11 pounds of cashew nuts
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, we call:
p = number of pounds of peanuts bought
n = number of pounds of cashew nuts bought
We also know that:
- Each pound of peanuts costs $2.75, so the cost of p pounds of peanuts is
- Each pound of cashew nuts costs $3.25, so the cost of n pounds of cashew nuts is
So the total cost, which in this case is $49.50, can be written as:
(1)
We also know that the total number of pounds is 16, so:
(2)
From this equation we get
And substituting into (1), we find n:
So, 11 pounds of cashew nuts.
1) The outcomes for rolling two dice, the sample space, is as follows:
(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6)
(2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6)
(3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)
(4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6)
(5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6)
(6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)
There are 36 outcomes in the sample space.
2) The ways to roll an odd sum when rolling two dice are:
(1, 2), (1, 4), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 3), (2, 5), (3, 2), (3, 4), (3, 6), (4, 1), (4, 3), (4, 5), (5, 2), (5, 4), (5, 6), (6, 1), (6, 3), (6, 5). There are 18 outcomes in this event.
3) The probability of rolling an odd sum is 18/36 = 1/2 = 0.5
Answer:
5/8, 5:8, or 5 to 8
Step-by-step explanation:
you have to simplify the ratio so you have to figure out what 40 and 64 have in common. tho right away you can assume that they both have 2 in common bcz they are both even so you can divide them both by two and get 20/32, and then you can do it again bcz they are both even again and get 10/16, and then you can do it again bcz they are also both even and get 5/8. now 5 is a prime number so you cant divide it any further so you stop it there. and i put three answers bcz there are three ways to write a ratio
