Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = number of pieces of chocolate bought by Amin.

Let b = number of pieces of chocolate bought by Bob.

b = 2a

(a - 3)(b - 3) = 14

ab - 3a - 3b + 9 = 14

a(2a) - 3a - 3(2a) = 5

2a^2 - 3a - 6a = 5

2a^2 - 9a - 5 = 0

(2a + 1)(a - 5) = 0

2a + 1 = 0  or  a - 5 = 0

a = -1/2  or  a = 5

Amin cannot have bought -1/2 pieces of chocolate, so we discard the soluion a = -1/2.

a = 5

Answer: 5

Nima uses 2/3 cup peanuts, 1/2 cup cashews, 3/4 cups pecans, and some raisinsin a recipe that makes 2 1/4 cups of trail mix. How
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

8/27 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Nima uses 2/3 cups of peanuts to make a recipe of 2 1/4 = 9/4 cups of trail mix. If we want to find how many cups of peanuts are there per cup of trail mix, we can do a rule of three:

If 9/4 cups of trail mix need 2/3 cups of peanuts, 1 cup of trail mix need X cups of peanuts:

9/4 cups of trail mix -> 2/3 cups of peanuts

1 cup of trail mix -> X cups of peanuts

9/4 / 1 = 2/3 / X

9/4 = 2/(3*X)

3*X*9 = 4*2

27*X = 8

X = 8/27 cups
