Answer:

$2.90

Step-by-step explanation:

The quantity of the 1st type of candy be x lb and that of the second type − y lb with the price of $ p/lb.

Then, x=5y/12 or y=2.4x.

The "total price" equation will be: 4.6x + 2.4xp = 3.4(x+2.4x).  

Solving for p, we get p = $2.90.

Mean: The average or the center of the value. To find this, you add up all the numbers and divide by how many numbers there are. 
Example: 3, 4, 5
3+4+5 = 12. 
There are 3 numbers.

12/3 = 4. The mean is 4

Median: Median means the middle value. You place the numbers in order and locate the middle value. 

Example: 5, 4, 3 -> 3,/ 4,/ 5. Middle number 4.

Mode: Place the numbers in order then count how much each number appears. The number that appears the most repeatedly would be the mode.

Example: 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5. 

The mode would be 4.

Range: Locate the highest and the lowest values of the given set and subtract the smallest to the largest.

a² + b² = c²

13² + 13² = 338²

square root of 338 is not a rational number so turn into mixed radical.

//

x \: = 13

y = 13 \sqrt{2}

Murljashka [212]

The word in the problem that indicates that a negative sign should be used is "descend"

<h3></h3><h3>How many meters did he descend?</h3>

We know that he stops for water breaks four times, and between each water break, he descends 15 meters.

The written equation is:

4*(-15)m = -60m

Why the negative sign is used?

The negative sign is used because the hiker is descending, so its height is decreasing. The word in the problem that indicates that a negative sign should be used is "descend"
