Answer:
3.5 pounds of nuts; 6.5 pounds of M&Ms
Step-by-step explanation:
Let m represent the number of pounds of M&Ms to use. Then 10-m is the number of pounds of nuts, and the cost of the mix is ...
6·m + 3·(10-m) = 4.95·10 . . . . . cost = cost per pound times pounds
3m +30 = 49.5 . . . . . . simplify
3m = 19.5 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 30
m = 6.5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3
Then 10-m = 10-6.5 = 3.5.
The manager should use 3.5 pounds of nuts and 6.5 pounds of M&Ms in the mix.
In this question there is a simple trick that needs to be handled first. Baring that simple trick the problem is very easy. The first thing that needs to be done after noting down all the details from the given question is to covert 1 hour to 60 minutes.
Time taken by Carla to travel 5 miles = 1 hour
= ( 1 * 60 ) minutes
= 60 minutes
Then
In 60 minutes the distance covered by Carla = 5 miles.
NOw
In 15 minutes the distance traveled by Carla = (5/60) * 15 miles
= 5/4 miles
= 1.25 miles
So Carla will travel a distance of 1.25 miles in 15 minutes.
