Answer:

chocolate chips are $2.00 per pound.

nd walnuts must be $3.50 per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the price of walnuts and y the price of chocolate chips.

2x + 5y = 17 (i)

8x + 3y = 34 (ii)

Multiply (i) by 4 to get

8x + 20y = 68

Subtract (ii) to get

 17y = 34

Dividing by 17, we see that chocolate chips are $2.00 per pound.

Substituting y=2 in (i) or (ii), walnuts must be $3.50 per pound.

2½ = 5/2

(2½ water)/(⅓ juice) = (5/2 water)/(⅓ juice) = (5/2) × (3/1) water/juice = (15/2) water/juice


(1⅔ water)/(¼ juice) = (5/3 water)/(¼ juice) = (5/3) × (4/1) water/juice = (20/3) water/juice

15/2 = 45/6
20/3 = 40/6
45/6 > 40/6
Clare uses more water. Han’s juice tastes stronger.
