Answer: 2 lbs of cherries
Cherries = $5 per pound
Oranges = $2 per pound
Total Cost = $18
Total weight = 6 lb
------------------------------------
Define x and y
------------------------------------
Let x be the number of lb of cherries
Let y be the number of lb of oranges
------------------------------------
Construct equations
------------------------------------
x + y = 6 ---------------------------- (1)
5x + 2y = 18 ---------------------------- (2)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x and y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
From equation (1):
x + y = 6
x = 6 - y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute x = 6 - y into equation 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5x + 2y = 18
5 (6 - y) + 2y = 18
30 - 5y + 2y = 18
3y = 30 - 18
3y = 12
y = 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = 4 into equation (1)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 6
x + 4 = 6
x = 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the weight of cherries and oranges
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cherry = x = 2 lb
Oranges = y = 4 lbs
------------------------------------------------------------------------

answer: z= 7
Answer:
4 1/3 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Since he will have completed 7 hours AFTER 2 2/3 more hours, he has completed 7- 2 2/3 = 4 1/3 hours so far
The answer is 2.7
I’m not an expert at this but i did some research so I hope I can help
It’s 2.7 because the formula for calculating density is to divide the mass by the volume and in you do that for each of them you get 2.7 every time
