Answer:

  • 25 pounds cashews
  • 15 pounds peanuts

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the number of pounds of cashews in the mix. Then 40-c is the number of pounds of peanuts. The total cost of the mix is ...

  10c +2(40 -c) = 7(40)

  8c +80 = 280 . . . . simplify

  c +10 = 35 . . . . . . . divide by 8

  c = 25 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 10

  40-c = 40-25 = 15 . . . . pounds of peanuts

25 pounds of cashews and 15 pounds of peanuts should be used in the mix.

Which statement is TRUE?
tatiyna

Answer:

B) A random sample may represent the population <em>is your best answer.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the answer choice says "may", which means that it doesn't <em>always</em> represent the population. Random samples means that they ask random people, and do not have a certain rule that they have to follow (such as recipients can only be a certain race, age, etc.) and that they can ask anybody they meet. This can give not only a higher chance of a general population's opinion, but also makes sure that there is not a high chance of obtaining misleading information.

For example, a random survey would not take place at a rally, in which most of the people would believe the same thing, and would answer fairly the same for the survey. Instead, a random survey may be taken at a busy intersection during the time when most people are out. You must note that though it has the best chance of getting a <em>more accurate</em> representation, it still isn't the most accurate. For the best accuracy, <em>everyone would have to answer the survey in which the survey question would affect</em>.

Mr. Lawrence used 100 tiles when he put a new floor in the kitchen 34 tiles are squares and 16 tiles are rectangles write the to
Oliga [24]
<h3>Fraction of square tiles  = (\frac{4}{25})   = 0.16</h3><h3>Fraction of rectangle tiles  = (\frac{17}{50})   = 0.34</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of tiles to be used in the kitchen = 100

The total number of square tiles  = 34

The total number of rectangle tiles  =  16

Now, calculating the total fraction of square tiles:

The fraction of square tiles  = \frac{\textrm{Total number of square tiles}}{\textrm{Total number of tiles}}  = \frac{16}{100}   = \frac{4}{25}

Also, solving the fraction, we get \frac{4}{25}  = 0.16

So, the decimal value of square tiles  = 0.6

Calculating the total fraction of rectangle tiles:

The fraction of rectangle tiles  = \frac{\textrm{Total number of rectangle tiles}}{\textrm{Total number of tiles}}  = \frac{34}{100}   = \frac{17}{50}

Also, solving the fraction, we get \frac{17}{50}  = 0.34

So, the decimal value of rectangle tiles  = 0.34
