Answer:

peanut butter cookies:8

sugar cookies:2

chocolate chip cookies:5

ratio: 4:1:2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

x=peanut butter cookies

y=sugar cookies

a=chocolate chip cookies

40=2x+3y+3.6a

15=x+y+a

x=a+3

15=(a+3)+y+a

y=12-2a

40=2(a+3)+3(12-2a)+3.6a

a=5

x=8

y=2

Needing help, the secretary of the united states department of agriculture asked your teacher, "if a chicken-and-a-half can lay
Flura [38]

we are given that

3 chickens to lay 32 eggs

now, we can find number of eggs per chicken

number of eggs per chicken= (total eggs)/(total chicken)

so, we get

number of eggs per chicken is

=\frac{32}{3}

now, we can set up following

1.5 chicken : 1.5 eggs : 1.5 days  

3 chickens : 3 eggs : 1.5 days  

1 chicken : 1 egg : 1.5 days

Since, changing number of chicken won't affect time

time to lay eggs will always remain same

so,

for 1 chicken to lay =\frac{32}{3} eggs

it takes

=\frac{32}{3}*1.5 days

=16 days..............Answer
