Answer:
<em>The new mixture is 49% peanuts.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The first batch of 9 lb of mixed nuts contains 55% peanuts. This means the quantity of peanut is:
9*55/100=4.95 lb
The second batch of 6 lb of mixed nuts contains 40% peanuts. This means the quantity of peanut is:
6*40/100=2.4 lb
The total quantity of peanut in the mix is
4.95 lb + 2.4 lb =7.35 lb
There are 9 lb + 6 lb = 15 lb of mix. Thus, the percent of peanut in the mix is:
7.35 / 15 * 100 = 49%
The new mixture is 49% peanuts.

The first thing you should do for this case is find the amount that Michael has traveled.
For this we have to multiply the distance to the store and the percentage traveled.
We have then:
(3/8) * (4/5) = 12/40
Simplifying we have:
(12/40) * ((1/2) / (1/2)) = (6/20) * ((1/2) / (1/2)) = 3/10
answer
Michael has walked 3 / 10Km (80% of the way to the store)
Suppose a museum has a rectangular painting that measures 36 inches by 48 inches.
Length of the rectangle = 36 inches
width of the rectangle = 48 inches
Area of the rectangle = length * width
we replace length and width and calculate area
Area of the rectangle = 36 * 48= 1,728
Area of the rectangle= 1,728 square inches
