Given that a <span>store is selling two mixtures of nuts in 20-ounce bags: peanuts and cashews.

Let the cost of one ounce of peanut be x and the cost of one ounce of cashew be y, then

Given that </span>t<span>he first mixture has 15 ounces of peanuts combined with five ounces of cashews, and costs $4.25 implies that 15x + 5y = 4.25

Also, given that </span>t<span>he second mixture has five ounces of peanuts and 15 ounces of cashews, and costs $6.75 mplies that 5x + 15y = 6.75

To obtain the cost of </span><span>one ounce of peanuts and one ounce of cashews, we solve the two equations above, simultaneously:
15x + 5y = 4.25 - - - (1) \\ 5x + 15y = 6.75 - - - (2) \\  \\ (1)\times3\Rightarrow45x+15y=12.75 - - - (3) \\  \\ (2)-(3)\Rightarrow-40x=-6 \\  \\ \bold{x= \frac{-6}{-40} =0.15} \\  \\ From\ (1):15(0.15)+5y=4.25 \\  \\ 5y=4.25-2.25=2 \\  \\ \bold{y= \frac{2}{5} =0.4}

Therefore, </span><span>one ounce of peanuts and one ounce of cashews cost $0.15 and $0.40 respectively.</span>

A professora Luísa observou que o numero de meninas de turma dividido pelo numero de meninos dessa turma e 0,48. Qual e o menor
saw5 [17]

Respuesta:

37 estudiantes

Explicación paso a paso:

El número de niños dividido por el número de niñas = 0,48

Dejar :

x = número de niños; y = número de niñas

Tenemos ;

x / y = 0,48

Conversión a decimal;

0.48 es equivalente a 48/100

Reduciendo a la forma más simple:

48/100 = 12/25

Comparando:

x / y = 12/25

x = 12; y = 25

El menor número posible de estudiantes:

x + y = 12 + 25 = 37 estudiantes

Please help me. It’s geometry
Verizon [17]

Option 3:

m∠ABC = 66°

Solution:

Given \overline {F A D} \| \overline {E H C} and ABH is a transversal line.

m∠FAB = 48° and m∠ECB = 18°

m∠ECB = m∠HCB = 18°

<u>Property of parallel lines: </u>

<em>If two parallel lines cut by a transversal, then the alternate interior angles are equal.</em>

m∠FAB = m∠BHC

48° = m∠BHC

m∠BHC = 48°

<u>Exterior angle of a triangle theorem: </u>

<em>An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles.</em>

m∠ABC = m∠BHC + m∠HCB

m∠ABC = 48° + 18°

m∠ABC = 66°

Option 3 is the correct answer.
