Answer:

We know that the box has:

0.6lb of caramels

3.6lb of coconut.

Then the total mass of candy in the box is:

0.6lb + 3.6lb = 4.2lb

This is the 100% of the box.

Now, we can write this as:

4.2lb = 100%

For example, if we want to know which percentage is caramels, we write the equation:

0.6lb = X

We want to find the value of X

Then we have two equations:

0.6lb = X

4.2lb = 100%

Let's take the quotient of these two equations:

(0.6lb/4.2lb) = X/100%

Now we can solve this for X:

(0.6lb/4.2lb)*100% = X = 14.3%

the caramels represent the 14.3% of the wheight of the box.

And for the coconut candy, we have the relation:

3.6lb = Y

Now let's do the same again, we start with the two equations:

3.6lb = Y

4.2lb = 100%

Take the quotient:

(3.6lb/4.2lb) = Y/100%

Solve for Y:

(3.6lb/4.2lb)*100% = Y = 85.7%

Now we found the percentage that represent each type of candy in the box.

What is the value of x?<br><br><br> 68<br><br> 32<br><br> 54<br><br> 36
Dovator [93]

Answer:

A) 68

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the <em>Exterior Angle Theorem</em>.

The Exterior Angle theorem states that the exterior angle's measurement will be equal that of the two opposite interior angles.

Set the equation. Note that you are given the exterior angle and one interior angle:

58 + x = 126

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract 58 from both sides of the equation:

x + 58 (-58) = 126 (-58)

x = 126 - 58

x = 68

A) 68 is your answer.

Question 8/Multiple Choice Worth 1 points)
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

k = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 0.5x

g(x) = 0.5x - k

Required

Find k

<em>The question illustrates changing of positions of lines along the x and/or y axis;</em>

<em>But in this case; if graph f(x) is shifted down, then it represents a negative shift of points in the y axis.</em>

Given that f(x) = 0.5x

and f(x) is shifted down by 3 units to give g(x); then:

f(x) - 3 = g(x)

Substitute 0.5x for f(x)

0.5x - 3 = g(x)

Recall that g(x) = 0.5x - k ---------- (given)

0.5x - 3 = 0.5x - k

Subtract 0.5x from both sides

-0.5x + 0.5x - 3 = -0.5x + 0.5x - k

-3 = -k

Multiply both sides by -1

-3 * -1 = -k * -1

3 = k

k = 3

<em>Hence, the value of k is 3</em>

1. 5514 divided by 82 you have to find out how many times 82 goes into 551 (because it won't go into 5 or 55 now 82 goes into 551 6 times and you multiply 82 and 6 to get 492 (which is the closest you can get to 551 without going over) now you subtract 551-492 to get 59 now you carry down your 4 and add it to the end of the equation and your number changes into 594 now 82 times 7 is 574 when you subtract you get 20 now you add a decimal point and you carry down the 0 to make your number 200 now you do 82 times 2 to get 164 when you subtract you get 36 now you carry down the 0 and get 360 so you multiply 82 by 4 to get 328 so your answer is 67.24.Hope this helps. I can add a picture if you need one.

Helllllpppp I need to find the area
Masja [62]
Divide it into two squares.
The first square is just (1)1, which equals 1 cm^2, and add that to the second square, which is just (2)2, which equals 4, so 1+4=5 cm^2.
