Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

x= the number of pounds of the tropical taffy that should be used

You need to take the value of the Tropical Taffy + the value of the Passion Fruit taffy to = the value of Tropical Passion

value- price per pound times the number of pounds

Your equation is going to look like this-->

5.50x+6.25(100)=6(x+100)

5.50x+625=6x+600

-5.50x        -5.50x

625=0.5x+600

-600         -600

25=0.5x

50=x

Hope this helps!

The distance between each base on a field is 90 ft. How far does a catcher have to throw the ball from home plate to second base
Gnoma [55]

Step-by-step explanation:

A baseball field is in the shape of a square (or diamond).  Home plate and second base are opposite corners of each other.  So the distance is equal to the diagonal of the square.

Use Pythagorean theorem to find the diagonal, or use properties of a 45-45-90 triangle.

Using Pythagorean theorem:

c² = a² + b²

c² = (90 ft)² + (90 ft)²

c = 90√2 ft

c ≈ 127 ft
