Answer:

Part a) Mr. Paul bought 14 oz of cashews

Part b) Mr. Paul bought 12 oz of walnuts

Part c) Mr Paul bought 2 oz more of cashews than walnuts

Part d) Mr Paul bought 2 more ounces of nuts than Mrs Toombs

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) How many ounces of cashews did Mr. Paul buy?

Remember that

1\ lb=16\ oz

To convert lb to oz multiply by 16

we know that

Mr. Paul bought 7/8 lb of cashews

Convert lb to oz

Multiply by 16

\frac{7}{8}\ lb= \frac{7}{8}(16)=14\ oz

therefore

Mr. Paul bought 14 oz of cashews

Part b) How many ounces of walnuts did Mr. Paul buy?

Remember that

1\ lb=16\ oz

To convert lb to oz multiply by 16

we know that

Mr. Paul bought 3/4 lb of walnuts

Convert lb to oz

Multiply by 16

\frac{3}{4}\ lb= \frac{3}{4}(16)=12\ oz

therefore

Mr. Paul bought 12 oz of walnuts

Part c) How many more ounces of cashews than walnuts did Mr. Paul buy?

Subtract the ounces of walnuts from the ounces of cashews

so

14\ oz-12\ oz=2\ oz

therefore

Mr Paul bought 2 oz more of cashews than walnuts

Part d) If Mrs. Toombs bought 1 1/2 pounds of pistachios, who bought more nuts, Mr. Paul or Mrs. Toombs? How many ounces more?

Remember that

1\ lb=16\ oz

To convert lb to oz multiply by 16

we know that

Mrs. Toombs bought 1 1/2 pounds of pistachios

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

1\frac{1}{2}\ lb=\frac{1*2+1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}\ lb

Convert lb to oz

Multiply by 16

\frac{3}{2}\ lb= \frac{3}{2}(16)=24\ oz

Remember that

Mr. Paul bought 14 oz of cashews and 12 oz of walnuts

In total Mr Paul bought

14 oz+12 oz=26 oz -----> total ounces of nuts

so

Mrs. Toombs bought 24 oz of nuts

Mr. Paul bought 26 oz of  of nuts

26\ oz > 24\ oz

Find the difference

(26\ oz-24\ oz)=2\ oz

therefore

Mr Paul bought 2 more ounces of nuts than Mrs Toombs

If a line falls on the points (6,22) and (4,21), what is its slope? Enter your answer as a fraction in lowest terms. Use a slash
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have two points, we can use the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = (22-21)/(6-4)

    = 1/2

The ratio of volume of a cone and a hemisphere of same base radius and height is?
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is given that the cone and the hemisphere have the same height, and since the height of a hemisphere would be equal to its radius, the cones height must also be equal to its base radius.

With this information we can use the respective volume formulas.

Hemisphere:  \frac{2}{3}πr^3

Cone:  \frac{1}{3}πhr^2

Since h (height) = r we can say the cone volume equals:

\frac{1}{3}πr^3

Now to find the ratio we divide the cone volume equation by the hemisphere volume equation

pi and r^3 cancels out from the division and we are left with

ratio = (1/3)/(2/3)

ratio = 1/2
