Answer:

Bill should use 4.5 pounds of the candy costing 45 cents and 2.5 pounds of the candy costing 65 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the information provided, you can say that the sum of the pounds of each type of candy is equal to 7, which can be expressed as:

x+y=7

Also, the statement indicates the 7 pound box costs $3.65 and you can say that the sum of the results of multiplying the price of each candy for the number of pounds is equal to $3.65, which is:

0.45x+0.65y=3.65

You have the following equations:

x+y=7 (1)

0.45x+0.65y=3.65 (2)

Now, you have to solve for x in (1):

x=7-y (3)

Then, you have to replace (3) in (2):

0.45(7-y)+0.65y=3.65

3.15-0.45y+0.65y=3.65

0.20y=0.50

y=0.50/0.20

y=2.5

Finally, you can replace the value of y in (3) to find x:

x=7-y

x=7-2.5

x=4.5

According to this, the answer is that Bill should use 4.5 pounds of the candy costing 45 cents and 2.5 pounds of the candy costing 65 cents.

Simplify 4/7 + 5/6 whoever possible
Pani-rosa [81]

Hey there!

4/7 + 5/6

≈ 24/42 + 35/42

≈ 24 + 36/ 42 - 0

≈ 59/42

≈ 1 17/42



Therefore, your answer is:

59/42 or 1 17/42

EITHER OF THOSE SHOULD WORK BECAUSE THEY ARE EQUIVALENT.


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

In a class of p students, the average (arithmetic mean) of the test scores is 70. in another class of n students, the average of
lys-0071 [83]

First case:

average of test score =70

number of students =p

total score of 'p' students = ( average of test score)*( number of students)

total score of 'p' students =70p

Second case:

average of test score =92

number of students =n

total score of 'n' students = ( average of test score)*( number of students)

total score of 'n' students =92n

total number of students = p+n

total average score =86

so, total score =86(p+n)

total score = total score of 'p' students +total score of 'n' students

86(p+n)=70p+92n

now, we can simplify it

86p+86n=70p+92n

86p-70p=92n-86n

16p=6n

now, we can find p/n

\frac{p}{n}= \frac{6}{16}

\frac{p}{n}= \frac{3}{8}................Answer
