Answer:
Pounds of raisins = 1.5 lb
Pounds of cashew = 3.5 lb
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Pounds of raisins = x
Pounds of cashew = y
x + y = 5 (1)
4.50x + 9.50y = 40 (2)
From (1)
x = 5 - y
Substitute x = 5 - y into
4.50x + 9.50y = 40
4.50(5 - y) + 9.50y = 40
22.50 - 4.50y + 9.50y = 40
- 4.50y + 9.50y = 40 - 22.50
5y = 17.5
y = 17.5 / 5
= 3.5
y = 3.5lb
Substitute y = 3.5 into
x + y = 5
x + 3.5 = 5
x = 5 - 3.5
= 1.5
x = 1.5lb
Pounds of raisins = 1.5 lb
Pounds of cashew = 3.5 lb
7x-7-2x-2+3x-12=8x-21

Answer:
5:2
Step-by-step explanation:
you could either multiply straight away or you could simplify right then so that you wouldn't have to it later.
20/5 * 5/2
your answer would be 10 either way
Okie dokie,
When converting a decimal, you use the place the decimal is in...
Let's review the places: tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc.
You look at the last number to determine what place you're using!
-------------------
Now here's an example for the
tenths place:
.5
it's in the tenths place, right? so put it over that number (with no decimal) over a
10.
(mobile) 5/10 or

Now, decide if you can simplify. You can! 5/10 simplifies down to
1/2.

is your answer!
--------
Example for the
hundredths place:
.26
the last number is in the hundredths place, so put the number (without a decimal) over
100!26/100 or

You can simplify this!
13/50 is your answer!
Calculators can also come in handy!
Good luck!
