Answer:
Each hiker receives 7 ounces of trail mix
Step-by-step explanation:
Trail mix=quantity of peanuts+quantity of raisins+quantity of walnuts+quantity of chocolate chips
where;
Quantity of peanuts=1.25 pounds
Quantity of raisins=14 oz, since 1 pound=16 oz.
Quantity of raisins=(14/16)=0.875 pounds
Quantity of walnuts=12 oz=(12/16)=0.75 pounds
Quantity of chocolate chips=10 oz=(10/16)=0.625 pounds
Replacing;
Trail mix=(1.25+0.875+0.75+0.625)=3.5 pounds
Trail mix=Quantity per hiker×Number of hikers
where;
Trail mix=3.5 pounds
Quantity per hiker=q
Number of hikers=8
Replacing;
3.5=q×8
q=3.5/8=0.4375 pounds
I pound=16 ounces
q=0.4375×16=7 ounces
Each hiker receives 7 ounces of trail mix
So the first thing you want to do when faced with two fractions with different denominators (when subtracting or adding) is to make the denominators the same. So for this equation they would turn out to be p+10/16=15/16 (because 16 is the lowest common denominator, 8 times two) so then you want to subtract 10/16 from 15/16 to isolate the variable (p) which would get:
p=5/16
This is the final answer because it cannot be simplified.
Hope this helps!
The law of cosines is used for calculating one side of the triangle if the angle opposite to that side is given as well as the other sides. For this problem, we are given angle B. Therefore, the correct answer among the choices given is option 1 where a is equal to 5 and c is equal to 3.
The answer to this is: x = 0, 5/4
