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

What methods do you know that can be used to solve a quadratic equation?
zhuklara [117]

Answer: If the quadratic equation has real, rational solutions, the quickest way to solve it is often to factorise into the form (px + q)(mx + n), where m, n, p and q are integers. This is especially true where the coefficient of x2 is 1.

Example 1 - Solve x2+7x+12=0

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x+6y= -3 and -5+y=-23
Ira Lisetskai [31]

-5 +y = -23

add 5 to each side

y = -18

-3x+6y = -3

-3x + 6(-18) = -3

-3x -108 = -3

add108 to each side

-3x = 105

divide by -3

x = -35


x=-35

y= -18

The missing step 2 should be;

The quantity of the sum of thirty six plus two divided by 0.5 − 14.8 ÷ 8

The missing step 6 would be that; 76 - 1.85

<h3>How to Solve Mathematical Order of Operations?</h3>

We want to know the steps to solving the expression the quantity of the sum of six squared plus two divided by the absolute value of negative 0.5 − 14.8 ÷ 8

This can be expressed as;

6² + 2 ÷ |-0.5| - 14.8 ÷ 8

Thus, the next step which is step 2 should be;

The quantity of the sum of thirty six plus two divided by 0.5 − 14.8 ÷ 8

The missing step 6 would be that;

76 - 1.85
