Answer:

The new mixture is 49% peanuts.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first batch of 9 lb of mixed nuts contains 55% peanuts. This means the quantity of peanut is:

9*55/100=4.95 lb

The second batch of 6 lb of mixed nuts contains 40% peanuts. This means the quantity of peanut is:

6*40/100=2.4 lb

The total quantity of peanut in the mix is

4.95 lb + 2.4 lb =7.35 lb

There are 9 lb + 6 lb = 15 lb of mix. Thus, the percent of peanut in the mix is:

7.35 / 15 * 100 = 49%

The new mixture is 49% peanuts.

In ¾ pound of a banana bread, there is ½ cup of cinnamon. How much cinnamon does the bread contain per pound?

Shkiper50 [21]

1 pound of bread contains $\frac{2}{3}$ cups of cinnamon.

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Given that , In $\frac{3}{4}$ pound of a banana bread, there is $\frac{1}{2}$ cup of cinnamon

To find:

Amount of cinnamon per pound in bread

Let "n" be the cinnamon per pound present in bread

$\frac{3}{4}$ pound of banana bread ⇒ $\frac{1}{2}$ cup of cinnamon

Then, 1 pound of bread ⇒ n cups of cinnamon

Now, let us use criss cross method (i.e. multiplying the diagonal ordered terms and equating them)

$\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow n \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{2} \times 1} \\\\ {\rightarrow n \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{2}} \\\\ {\rightarrow n=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{4}{3}} \\\\ {\rightarrow n=\frac{2}{3}}\end{array}$

Hence, 1 pound of bread contains $\frac{2}{3}$ cups of cinnamon.

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

$4 + 6 \sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sqrt{32} + \sqrt{16} + \sqrt{8}$

$\sqrt{32} = \sqrt{4 \times 4 \times 2} = 4\sqrt{2}$

$\sqrt{16} = \sqrt{4 \times 4} = 4$

$\sqrt{8} = \sqrt{2 \times 2 \times 2} = 2 \sqrt{2}$

$4 + 4\sqrt{2} + 2 \sqrt{2} = 4 + 6 \sqrt{2}$

Triangle WXY has coordinates W(1, 5), X(1, 1), and Y(5, 1). Which of the following sets of points represents a dilation of trian

timofeeve [1]

The correct answer for the question shown above is the second option, the option B, which is: B. W'(2, 10), X'(2, 2), Y'(10, 2)
The explanation is shown below: As you can see, the original triangle has the following coordinates W(1, 5), X(1, 1), and Y(5, 1); the triangle must be dilated by a common scale factor, so if you analize the option B, you can notice that the triangle was dilated by a scale factor of 2.
