Let:
x = Pounds of walnuts in the mix.
Each pound of walnuts costs $0.80. thus x pounds of walnuts cost 0.8x dollars.
Each pound of cashews costs $1.25 and the mix will contain 8 pounds of cashews, so the cost is 8*$1.25 = $10
The total cost of the mix is, therefore: 0.8x + 10 dollars.
We are also given the pound of mix costs $1.00 and we have a total of 8 + x pounds, so the total cost of the mix is 1*(8 + x) dollars.
Equating both costs:
0.8x + 10 = 1*(8 + x)
Operating:
0.8x + 10 = 8 + x
Subtracting x and 10:
0.8x - x = 8 - 10
Simplifying:
-0.2x = -2
Dividing by -0.2:
x = -2/(-0.2)
x = 10
Answer: 10 pounds
Answer:
a) 79.6
b) 437.8
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you have to do 318.4/4 to find the rate she goes in the duration of an hour. The rate is 79.6, which means she travels at a rate of 79.6 kilometers per hour.
Then, you have to find the distance she takes to travel in 5.5 hours, so you have to do 5.5*79.6 which is 437.8.
So, Hannah travels 437.8 kilometers in 5.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
k=2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
Step 1 in solving the exponential equations is re-writing the base same as other side of the equation
so,
Step 2:
Second step is equating the exponents
The rule used is:
So in this case
So the solution is:
k=2/3 ..
Answer:
36 oz
Step-by-step explanation:
Get the other options down to 12oz units for their price and then you can compare which one is the cheapest for 12oz.
12oz = $1.99
36oz/3 = 12oz so $2.59/3 = $ .86
48oz/4= 12oz so $3.99/4 = $1.00
60oz/5= 12oz so $4.59/5 = $ .92
So looking at the breakdown, the 36oz one is the cheapest because for that price for a third of it comes out to .86 cents.
