Answer:

10 pounds of raisins and 10 pounds of peanuts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the pounds of chocolate covered raisins.

Let p represent the pounds of peanuts.

We know that the raisins cost $1.50 per pound and the peanuts cost $1.20 per pound.

Ameenah wants to make 20 pounds of a mixture of the raisins and peanuts that sells for 1.35 a pound. So, we can write the following expression:

1.5c+1.2p

This represents the cost given c pounds of raisins and p pounds of peanuts.

Ameenah wants to combine c and p to make them 1.35 per pound. In other words, the expression must equal:

1.5c+1.2p=1.35(c+p)

We also know that she wants to make 20 pounds. So, c plus p must total 20. Therefore:

c+p=20

We now have the system of equations:

\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 1.5c+1.2p=1.35(c+p) \\ c+p=20\end{array}

First, since we know that c+p is 20, we can substitute that into the first equation.

Second, let's subtract p from both side for the second equation to isolate a variable. So:

c=20-p

Let's now substitute this into the first equation:

1.5(20-p)+1.2p=1.35(20)

Distribute:

30-1.5p+1.2p=27

Combine like terms:

-0.3p+30=27

Subtract 30 from both sides:

-0.3p=-3

Divide both sides by -0.3. So, the amount of peanuts needed is:

p=10

10 pounds of peanuts is needed.

This means that 20-10 or 10 pounds of raisins is needed.

During the first 3 days of the week, Mike read an average of 28 pages per day. During the next 4 days, Mike averaged 42 pages pe
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

36 pages per day on average

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the average.

3 * 28 (The first 3 days of the week where Mike reads 28 pages per day) = 84

4 * 42 (The next 4 days where Mike reads 42 pages per day ) = 168

168 + 84 = 252



To find the average using this total, divide it by the total amount of days of reading (seven days in this problem).

252 / 7 = 36

A pair of shoes usually sells for $61. If the shoes are 40% off, and sales tax is 5%, what is the total price of the shoes, incl
lyudmila [28]
Since sale is 40% so the price is 60%

61*(60%) = 36.6

the tax is 5%

so the price after tax is: 36.6 * (1 +5%) = $38.43

Is y = 3x+4 and y=3x-5 parallel, perpendicular or neither?
sineoko [7]

Answer: These Lines are <em>Parallel</em>

Step-by-step explanation: For two lines to be parallel, they must have the same slope with different y-intercepts. Both of the lines above have a slope of 3 and differing y-intercepts of 4 and -5. Therefore, these lines must be parallel to one another.

Answer:

  m∠Y = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of complementary angles is 90°. If we let s and y represent m∠S and m∠Y, respectively, the angle measures in degrees satisfy ...

  s + y = 90

  (4y -110) +y = 90 . . . . . . . . substitute for s

  5y = 200 . . . . . . . . . add 110

  y = 40 . . . . . . . divide by 5

The measure of angle Y is 40°.

Find the ratio of the volume of one sphere to the volume of the right cylinder
yarga [219]

Answer:

B


Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Let r be the radius of one sphere.</em>

  • Volume of sphere is V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

Since radius is r,  the height of the cylinder will be 4r

Also, the cylinder has the same radius as the sphere: r


  • Volume of Cylinder is V=\pi r^2 h

Plugging in the values we get: V=\pi (r)^{2}(4r)=4\pi r^3


<u>Ratio of volume of 1 sphere to volume of cylinder is</u>:

\frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3}{4\pi r^3}=\frac{\frac{4}{3}}{4}=\frac{4}{3}*\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{3}

The ratio is 1:3

Answer choice B is right.
