A nut mixture of almonds and cashew nuts at a small fair is $1.00 per pound of almonds and $3.55 per pound of cashew nuts. Over

the entire day, 65 pounds of the nut mixture were sold for $189.95. If p is the number almonds and n is the number of cashew nuts, then the system of equations that models this scenario is: p+n=65p+3.55n=189.95p+n=65p+3.55n=189.95 Determine the correct description and amount of pounds for almonds and cashew nuts that were sold. A (26.0, 39.0)There were 26.0 pounds of almonds and 39.0 pounds of cashew nuts sold at the fair. B (16.0, 49.0)There were 16.0 pounds of almonds and 49.0 pounds of cashew nuts sold at the fair. C (49.0, 16.0)There were 49.0 pounds of almonds and 16.0 pounds of cashew nuts sold at the fair. D (39.0, 26.0)There were 39.0 pounds of almonds and 26.0 pounds of cashew nuts sold at the fair.

Answer:

B. (16.0, 49.0) There were 16.0 pounds of almonds and 49.0 pounds of cashew nuts sold at the fair.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, p represents the number of pounds of almond and n be the number of pounds of cashew nuts,

Since, total nuts = 65

⇒ p + n = 65 ----(1)

Also, the total spending is $ 189.95 in which almond costs $ 1.00 per pounds and cashew costs $ 3.55 per pound,

⇒ p + 3.55n = 189.95 -----(2)

Equation (1) - equation (2),

2.55n = 124.95

⇒ n = 49

From equation (1),

p + 49 = 65 ⇒ p = 16

Hence, there are 16 pounds of almonds and 49 pounds of cashew.

As a block of ice melts it changes from 1 3/4 lb to 1/4 lb and takes 1/4 hr. What is the rate the ice changes?
Nutka1998 [239]

The rate at which the ice changes is -3/8 lb per hr

<h3>What is the rate the ice changes?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Changes =1 3/4 lb to 1/4 lb

Time = 1/4 hr.

The rate the ice changes is calculated as:

Rate = Change/Time

So, we have

Rate = (1/4 lb - 1 3/4 lb)/(1/4 hr)

Evaluate the difference

Rate = (-1 1/2 lb)/(1/4 hr)

Evaluate the quotient

Rate = -3/8 lb per hr

Hence, the rate at which the ice changes is -3/8 lb per hr

Answer:  

2 hours:  3968  <u>[I don't understand the $ sign in the answer box]</u>

At midnight:  12137

Step-by-step explanation:

The bacteria are increasing by 15% every hour.  So for every hour we will have what we started with, plus 15% more.  

The "15% more" can be represented mathematically with (1 + 0.15) or 1.15.  Let's call this the "growth factor" and assign it the variable b.  b is (1 +  percent increase).

Since this per hour, in 1 hour we'll have (3000)*(1.15) = 3450

At the end of the second hour we're increased by 15% again:

(3450)*(1.15) = 3968.

Each additional hour add another (1.15) factor,  If we assign a to be the starting population, this can be represented by:

P = a(1.15)^t for this sample that increase 15% per hour.  t is time, in hours.  

If a represents the growth factor, and P is the total population, the general expression is

P = ab^t

Using this for a = 3000 and b = 1.15, we can find the total population at midnight after starting at 2PM.  That is a 10 hour period, so t = 10

P = (3000)*(1.15)^10

P = 12137
