You have one type of nut that sells for $3.00/lb and another type of nut that sells for $5.40/lb. You would like to have 7.2 lbs

brilliants [131]

Answer: 2.4 pounds of the type of nut that sells for $3.00/lb and 4.8 pounds of the type of nut that sells for $5.40/lb would be needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of the type of nut that sells for $3.00/lb that you would need.

Let y represent the number of pounds of the type of nut that sells for $5.40/lb that you would need.

You would like to have 7.2 lbs of a nut mixture. It means that

x + y = 7.2

The mixture would sell for $4.60/lb. It means that the cost of the mixture would be

4.6 × 7.2 = $33.12

This means that

3x + 5.4y = 33.12- - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 7.2 - y Intl equation 1, it becomes

3(7.2 - y) + 5.4y = 33.12

21.6 - 3y + 5.4y = 33.12

- 3y + 5.4y = 33.12 - 21.6

2.4y = 11.52

y = 11.52/2.4

y = 4.8

x = 7.2 - y = 7.2 - 4.8

x = 2.4

Min-jun travels 27 miles per hour. How long does it take him to travel 21 miles. Nearest tenth

Advocard [28]

Answer:

0.8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question;

Speed of Min-jun is 27 miles per hour
Distance covered is 21 miles

We need to determine the time he takes to cover the distance given;

We need to know that;

Speed = Distance ÷ time

Rearranging the formula;

time = Distance ÷ speed

Thus;

Time = 21 miles ÷ 27 miles per hour

= 7/9 hours

= 0.8 hours

Thus, he took 0.8 hours to cover the distance covered

If there are 52 weeks in a year, how many more hours does a squirrel sleep in a year than a rabbit?

AveGali [126]

The squirrel sleeps 2548 hours more than the rabbit.

Difference of the numbers

Difference of the numbers means the result of subtracting one number from another.

Given,

If there are 52 weeks in a year,

Then we need to find how many more hours does a squirrel sleep in a year than a rabbit.

First, we have to find the sleeping pattern of squirrel and rabbit.

A squirrel spends up to 60% of its day asleep, which means that an average squirrel sleeps for almost 15 hours each day.

Similarly, the rabbits are sleep six to eight hours each day.

So for one day,

Rabbit = 8 hours per day

Squirrel = 15 hours per day.

Then the sleeping hours for one week is

Rabbit = 8 x 7 = 56 hours

Squirrel = 15 x 7 = 105 hours

So, for 52 weeks, they spend

Rabbit = 56 x 52 = 2912

Squirrel = 105 x 52 = 5460

So, the difference is

=> 5460 - 2912

=> 2548

Therefore, the squirrel sleeps 2548 hours more than the rabbit.
