Number of pounds of macadamia nuts is 8 pounds and number of pounds of almonds is 4 pounds.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Step 1:
Given total pounds of mixture = 12 pounds, cost of macadamia nuts per pound = $9, cost of almonds per pound = $5.25, total cost of mixture per pound = $7.75.
Let number of pounds of macadamia nuts be x and number of pounds of almonds be 12-x.
Step 2:
Form an equation using the above information.
⇒ 9x + 5.25 (12-x) = 12 × 7.75
⇒ 9x + 63 - 5.25x = 93
⇒ 9x - 5.25x = 30
⇒ 3.75x = 30
⇒ x = 8
Number of macadamia nuts is 8 pounds.
Step 3:
Calculate number pounds of almonds
⇒ Number of pounds of almonds = 12 - x = 4 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance = rate × time
If B is the rate of the boat, and C is the rate of the current, then we can write two equations:
18 = (B + C) × 3
18 = (B − C) × 9
Simplifying the equations:
6 = B + C
2 = B − C
Add the equations together to eliminate C:
8 = 2B
B = 4
Plug into either equation to find C:
C = 2
The boat's rate is 4 mph, and the current's rate is 2 mph.

so the probability is 4/8 = 1/2.
Answer:
126
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate this, we need to assume at least one white marble will be picked... so let's take it out of the bag. Then we need to pick 4 more marbles... it's just then a combination calculation.
How many marbles is there in total? 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 10
We do just as if we had removed one white marble from the bag... so that leaves 9 in the bag.
We have to pick 4 out of those 9.... so, it's simple combination calculation:
C(9,4) = 9! / (4! (9--4)!) = 9! / (4! 5!) = 126
Some of those grabs will have 2 white marbles... but we're assured that there are 126 ways to combine the 10 marbles so there's at least one white in the 5 picked (since we forced it in our calculations).
