Answer:

x = 6 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Total weight of the candy = x

3/20x + 1.2 lb + 3/5x + 0.3 lb = x

3/20x + 3/5x + 1.5 lb = x

3x+12x/20 + 1.5 lb = x

15/20x + 1.5 = x

1.5 = x - 15/20x

1.5 =20x -15x /20

1.5 = 5/20x

1.5 = 1/4x

x = 1.5 ÷ 1/4

= 1.5 × 4/1

= 6

x = 6 lb

Answer:

Scale factor  = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Using similar triangles

AT/AG = AB/AC

9/3 = x+10/3x-10

Cross multiply

3(x+10) = 9(3x-10)

Expand

3x+30 = 27x-90

3x-27x = -90 - 30

-24x = -120

x = 120/24

x = 5

For the larger triangle;

AC = 3x-10

AC = 3(5)-10

AC =15-10

AC = 5

AB = x+10

AB = 5+10

AB = 15

For the scale factor;

Since AT/AG = AB/AC

9/15 = 3/5

3*3/5*3 =3/5

Since the numerator and denominator of the larger triangle is multiplies by the same factor i.3 3. Hence the scale factor is 3

3/5 + 7/10 = 6/10 + 7/10 = 13/10 = 1 and 3/10 lbs. needed

She has 4/5 *3/1 bags = 12/5 = 2 and 2/5 pounds

2 2/5 - 1 3/10 = 2 4/10 - 1 3/10 = 1 and 1/10 pounds left over
