Answer:

Pounds for cashew- 20.96

Pounds for Brazilian nut- 11.04

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c be the pounds of cashew

Let b ne the pound of Brazilian but

32×6.24

= 199.68

7.1c + 4.60b= 199.68.......equation 1

c + b= 32..........equation 2

From equation 2

c= 32-b

Sub 32-b for c in equation 1

7.1(32-b) + 4.60b= 199.68

227.3-7.1b+4.60b, = 199.68

227.3-2.5b= 199.68

-2.5b= 199.69-227.3

- 2.5b= -27.61

b= 27.61/2.5

b= 11.04

Sub 11.04 for b in equation 2

c+b= 32

c + 11.04= 32

c= 32-11.04

c= 20.96

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

250.50 - 35m = 300 - 45.25m

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever an equation asks for when it will take x (or m in this case) amount of things or time you should know that there will be 2 different equations that have to equal each other

The equation will be 250.50 - 35m = 300 - 45.25m

The 35m is being subtracted from 250.50 because they are losing money each time they spend. This also applies to 45.25m

Also 35m and 45.25m are variables because it says they spend that much money each month. They don't specify how many months, so we have to put a variable after it.

HELP! What is the volume in cubic inches of the solid figure, rounded to the nearest cubic inch?
Setler [38]

Answer:

Volume of the solid figure = 1131 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of solid figure = Volume of half cylindrical prism + Volume of the rectangular prism

Volume of half cylindrical prism = \frac{1}{2}(\pi r^2h)

                                                     = (\frac{1}{2})(\pi )(17-11)^2(6)

                                                     = 339.29 cubic inch.

Volume of the rectangular prism = (length × width × height)

                                                      = 11 × 6 × 12

                                                      = 792 cubic inches

Volume of the solid figure = 339.29 + 792

                                            = 1131.29

                                            ≈ 1131 cubic inches

Komok [63]

Answer: B and C only

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature on a cold day starts at 0 degrees Celsius, falls 4 degrees, and rises 4 degrees

Initial temperature = 0

Temperature rise = 4

Fall in temperature = - 4

(Initial temperature + rise in temperature + fall in temperature)

Summing all : (0 + 4 - 4) = 0

carbon atom has 6 negatively charged electrons and 6 positively charged protons.

Net charge of atom :

(number of proton + number of electrons)

( 6 + (-6)) = 0
