Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

When multiplying fractions, you multiply it like normal numbers, so 1 is multiplied by 1, and 3 is multiplied by 4.

<u>For example:</u>

3/4 x 9/10 would be equal to 27/40 because the 3 is multiplied by 9 and 4 is multiplied by 10.

3 x 9 = 27

4 x 10 40

27/40

Therefore on your question it would be 1/12.

Randall wants to mix 50 lb of nuts worth $2 per lb with some nuts worth $7 per lb to make a mixture worth $6 per lb. How many po

defon

A = nuts of $2/lb

B = nuts of $7/lb

let's say we'll mix "x" lbs of B to get a mixture with A of "y" lbs, therefore

$\bf \begin{array}{lcccl} &\stackrel{lbs}{quantity}&\stackrel{\textit{cost}}{per~lb}&\stackrel{\textit{cost}}{total}\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ A~ nuts&50&2&100\\ B~nuts&x&7&7x\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ mixture&y&6&6y \end{array} \\\\\\ \begin{cases} 50+x=\boxed{y}\\ 100+7x=6y \end{cases}\qquad \qquad \implies 100+7x=6\left( \boxed{50+x} \right) \\\\\\ 100+7x=300+6x\implies \blacktriangleright x=200 \blacktriangleleft$
