Answer:

how much of each type of nut should be used in each batch.

1/3 of the mix is almonds

1/6 is pistachios

1/2 is cashews

the first batch is

P.1cup

A.2cup

C.?

Batch 2 is

P.?

A.2/3

C.1

the Third batch is

P.4/6

A.?

C.?

The answers are Batch 1:  3 cups cashews; Batch 2:  1/3 cup pistachios; Batch 3:  4/3 cups almonds and 2 cups cashews

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s represent the total amount of mix with y

Batch 1

Since the amount of pistachios is 1/6 of the total and that is 1 cup which gives us

1/6y = 1

The next step is to multiply both sides by 6:

1/6y(6) = 1(6)

y = 6

We have 6 cups total.  1/2 of the mix is cashews which mean 1/2(6) = 3 cups is cashews.

Batch 2

Since the amount of almonds is 1/3 of the total and that is 2/3 of a cup which gives us

1/3y = 2/3

The next step is to multiply both sides by 3:

1/3y(3) = 2/3(3)

y = 6/3 = 2

There are 2 cups of mix total.

1/6 of the mix is pistachios; this gives us 1/6(2) = 2/6 = 1/3 cup pistachios.

Batch 3

Since the amount of pistachios is 1/6 of the total mix and that is 4/6 of a cup which means

1/6y = 4/6

The next step is to multiply both sides by 6:

1/6y(6) = 4/6(6)

y= 24/6 = 4

Since there are 4 cups of mix total, we have  

1/3 of the mix is almonds which gives us 1/3(4) = 4/3 cups almonds.  

1/2 of the mix is cashews which gives us 1/2(4) = 2 cups cashews.

Diane needs 165 pieces of candy to hand out to guests at a party she is hosting. Each bag of candy contains 20 pieces. She has 2
Debora [2.8K]
20x + 25 = 165

x represents the number of bags. You can solve the equation to make sure the answer is 7.

20x + 25 = 165

Subtract 25 from both sides.

20x = 140

Divide 20 off of both sides.

x = 7

Which equation demonstrates the additive identity property?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for o in the equation (7 + 4) + (7 - 41) = 14©(7 + 4) + 0 = 7 + 41o(7 + 4)(1) = 7 + 41o(7 + 41) + ( - 7 - 41) = 0

We first need to simplify the expression removing parentheses

Simplify 41o(7 + 4): Distribute the 41o to each term in (7+4)

41o * 7 = (41 * 7)o = 287o 41o * 4 = (41 * 4)o = 164o

Our Total expanded term is 287o + 164o

Simplify 41o(7 + 41): Distribute the 41o to each term in (7+41)

41o * 7 = (41 * 7)o = 287o 41o * 41 = (41 * 41)o = 1681o

Our Total expanded term is 287o + 1681o

Our updated term to work with is (7 + 4) + (7 - 41) = 14©(7 + 4) + 0 = 7 + 287o + 164o(1) = 7 + 287o + 1681o + ( - 7 - 41) = 0

We first need to simplify the expression removing parentheses

Simplify 164o(1): Distribute the 164o to each term in (1)

164o * 1 = (164 * 1)o = 164o Our Total expanded term is 164o

Our updated term to work with is (7 + 4) + (7 - 41) = 14©(7 + 4) + 0 = 7 + 287o + 164o = 7 + 287o + 1681o + ( - 7 - 41) = 0

Step 1: Group variables: We need to group our variables (7 and 14©(7. To do that, we subtract 14©(7 from both sides (7 - 14©(7 = 14©(7 - 14©(7

Step 2: Cancel 14©(7 on the right side: 0o = 0 Step 3: Divide each side of the equation by 0

It was 11 hours because if the temperature drops 2 degrees after every hour, after 11 hours, the temperature would have dropped 22 degrees and 62 - 22 = 40.
