The proportion
peanuts : raisins : chocolate chips = 4 : 6 : 2
tells you that peanuts make up
4/(4+6+2) = 1/3
of the total quantity of the mix.
The quantity of peanuts required is (1/3)*(48 ounces) = 16 ounces (or 1 pound).
_____
In the 48 ounces of mix, 1 part = 4 ounces.
<h3>Unit price is $ 0.56 per pound of potatoes</h3><h3>Unit price is $ 3.1 per pound of broccoli</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
Unit price is the price of 1 unit

<h3><u>Find unit price of potatoes</u></h3>
A shopper paid $2.52 for 4.5 pounds of potatoes

Thus unit price is $ 0.56 per pound of potatoes
<h3><u>Find unit price of broccoli</u></h3>
$7.75 for 2.5 pounds of broccoli

Thus unit price is $ 3.1 per pound of broccoli
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the slope formula
(x2-x1)/(y2/y1)
substitute the values
(1-10)/(9-7)
solve
-9/-2
simplify
9/2 or 4.5
Answer:
20 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
We can work easier if we think in terms of an hour
the first equation that we can write is
A + B = 1/4 (its meaning is that in an hour A and B fill 1/4 of the cistern)
the second equation we can write is
A + C = 1/5 (its meaning is that in an hour A and C fill 1/5 of the cistern)
the third equation that we can write is
B = 2C (its meaning is that in an hour B fill 2 times C the cistern)
now we can substitute the value of B in the first two equations
A + 2C = 1/4
A + C = 1/5
A = 1/5 - C
1/5 - C + 2C = 1/4
C = 1/4 -1/5
C = (5-4)/20
C = 1/20 (this means that in an hour C will fill 1/20 of the cistern, so it takes 20 hours to fill the entire cistern)
A = 1/5 - 1/20
A = (4-1)/20 = 3/20
B = 1/20 *2 = 1/10
