Let c represent the weight of cashews and p the weight of pecans.
Then c + 10 = total weight of the nut mixture.
An equation for the value of the mixture follows:
$1.50(10 lb) + $0.75c = (c+10)($1.00)
Solve this equation for c: 15 + .75c = c + 10. Subtract .75c from both sides:
15 = 1c - 0.75c + 10. Then 5=0.25c, and c = 5/0.25, or 20.
Need 20 lb of cashews.
Check: the pecans weigh 10 lb and are worth $1.50 per lb, so the total value of the pecans is $15. The total value of the cashews is (20 lb)($0.75/lb), or $15. Does (20 lb + 10 lb)($1/lb) = $15 + $15? Yes. So c= 20 lb is correct.

Answer:
t = 0.7
Step-by-step explanation:
s = k/t where 'k' is the constant of variation
given: 0.5 = k/7 so k = 3.5
5 = 3.5/t
5t = 3.5
t = 0.7
