Answer:

6.63 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Total pounds of mixture = 20

The contents of the mixture are; peanuts and almonds. Of which;

Peanuts cost = $2.95 per pound

Almonds cost = $5.95 per pound

The mixture cost = $4.00 per pound

Total cost of contents of the mixture = $8.90

The pounds of peanuts = $\frac{2.95}{8.90}$ x 20

= 6.63

Therefore, 6.63 pounds of peanuts was used in producing 20 pounds of the mixture.

5 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 10

There are two possibilities

Orange then green or green the orange

The probabilities are:

P(o&g) = 2/10*2/9 = 2/45
P(g&o) =2/10*2/9 = 2/45

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hint :

$(a*b)^{m}= a^{m}b^{m}\\\\\\(a^{m})^{n}=a^{mn}\\\\\\a^{m}*a^{n}=a^{m+n}\\$

$1)x^{2}(2xy^{3})^{5}=x^{2}*2^{5}*x^{5}*(y^{3})^{5}\\\\\\=x^{2}*2^{5}*x^{5}*y^{3*5}\\\\=x^{2}*2^{5}*x^{5}*y^{15}\\\\=2^{5}*x^{2+5}*y^{15}\\\\=2^{5}x^{7}y^{15}$

$2) (4x10^{8})^{2}=4^{2}*x^{2}*(10^{8})^{2}\\\\=16*x^{2}*10^{8*2}\\\\=1.6*10*x^{2}*10^{16}\\\\=1.6x^{2}*10^{16+1}\\\\=1.6x^{2}10^{17}$

$3)(-h^{4})^{5}=(-h)^{4*5}=-h^{20}\\\\\4)(3xy^{3})^{2}(xy)^{6}=3^{2}x^{2}(y^{3})^{2}x^{6}y^{6}\\\\=9x^{2}y^{3*2}x^{6}y^{6}\\\\\\=9x^{2}y^{6}x^{6}y^{6}\\\\=9x^{2+6}y^{6+6}\\\\=9x^{8}y{12}\\\\\\$

$5) (p^{9})^{-2}=p^{9*-2}=p^{-18}\\\\\\6)(5k^{2})^{3}=5^{3}(k^{2})^{3}=625k^{6}\\\\7)(7x10^{5})^{2}=7^{2}x^{2}(10^{5})^{2}\\\\=49x^{2}10^{5*2}\\\\=4.9*10^{1}x^{2}10^{10}\\\\=4.9x^{2}10^{10+1}\\\\=4.9x^{2}10^{11}$

$8)x^{3}(-x^{3}y)^{2}=x^{3}*(-x^3})^{2}y^{2}\\\\\\=x^{3}*(-1)^{2}*x^{2*3}y^{2}\\\\=x^{3}*1*x^{6}y^{2}=x^{3+6}y^{2}\\\\=x^{9}y^{2}\\\\\\9)w^{5}(w^{2})^{-4}=w^{5}w^{2*-4}\\\\=w^{5}w^{-8}\\\\=w^{5-8}=w^{-3}\\\\=\frac{1}{w^{3}}\\\\\\10) (2x^{5})^{4}=2^{4}x^{5*4}\\\\=2^{4}x^{20}\\\\=16x^{20}$
