Garrett and Carter went to the movies last weekend. Together they bought 2 drinks and 2 popcorns. They spent a total of $12.50.

Tatiana [17]

Since Garrett and Carter bought popcorn and drinks, we have to figure out how much money is 1 drink and 1 popcorn. I figured the best way is to figure out half of $12.50 because 2 drinks and 2 popcorn cost that amount of money. You divide $12.50 by 2 to figure out half of that amount. The quotient equals to $6.25.

To make 3/4 pound it makes nuts how many pounds of cashews would you add to 1/8 pound them almonds and 1/4 pound of peanuts

Answer:

a. 3/8 lb of cashews

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount that needs to be added is the difference between the amount of mix wanted and the amount of mix provided by the given quantities of nuts.

3/4 lb - (1/8 lb +1/4 lb) = (3/4 -1/4 -1/8) lb = (2/4 -1/8) lb = (4/8 -1/8) lb

= 3/8 lb . . . . amount of cashews needed

I need help with #1 of this problem. It has writings on it because I just looked up the answer because I’m confused but I want t

In the figure below

1) Using the theorem of similar triangles (ΔBXY and ΔBAC),

$\frac{BX}{BA}=\frac{BY}{BC}=\frac{XY}{AC}$

Where

$\begin{gathered} BX=4 \\ BA=5 \\ BY=6 \\ BC\text{ = x} \end{gathered}$

Thus,

$\begin{gathered} \frac{4}{5}=\frac{6}{x} \\ \text{cross}-\text{multiply} \\ 4\times x=6\times5 \\ 4x=30 \\ \text{divide both sides by the coefficient of x, which is 4} \\ \text{thus,} \\ \frac{4x}{4}=\frac{30}{4} \\ x=7.5 \end{gathered}$

thus, BC = 7.5

2) BX = 9, BA = 15, BY = 15, YC = y

In the above diagram,

$\begin{gathered} BC=BY+YC \\ \Rightarrow BC=15\text{ + y} \end{gathered}$

Thus, from the theorem of similar triangles,

$\begin{gathered} \frac{BX}{BA}=\frac{BY}{BC}=\frac{XY}{AC} \\ \frac{9}{15}=\frac{15}{15+y} \end{gathered}$

solving for y, we have

$\begin{gathered} \frac{9}{15}=\frac{15}{15+y} \\ \text{cross}-\text{multiply} \\ 9(15+y)=15(15) \\ \text{open brackets} \\ 135+9y=225 \\ \text{collect like terms} \\ 9y\text{ = 225}-135 \\ 9y=90 \\ \text{divide both sides by the coefficient of y, which is 9} \\ \text{thus,} \\ \frac{9y}{9}=\frac{90}{9} \\ \Rightarrow y=10 \end{gathered}$

thus, YC = 10.
