Answer:
500 lbs of mixed nuts
Step-by-step explanation:
15.4% of mixed nuts = 77 lbs of pecans
Divide the weight of pecans by the percent of mixed nuts to find how many pounds of pecans equal 1% of the mixed nuts:
77 / 15.4 = 5, so 5 lbs equals 1% of mixed nuts
Now multiply that number by 100 to get 100% of mixed nuts:
5 x 100 = 500
Therefore, there are 500 lbs of mixed nuts in a batch altogether.
To check, 15.4% = 15.4/100 = 0.514
Therefore, 15.4% of 500 = 0.514 x 500 = 77
Thereby proving that 15.4% of 500 is 77.
Answer:
1. 5 / 6
2. 1 / 3
3. 3 / 6 or 1 / 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability that A is not yellow is 5 / 6
The probability that B is blue is 1 / 3
The probability that A is red is 3 / 6 or 1 / 2
<span>Turn 1 3/4 into a decimal number: 1.75
So, 120 miles in 1.75 hours, but we want to know miles in *one* hour. Divide both numbers by 1.75. 120/1.75 miles in 1.75/1.75 hour = 120/1.75 miles in 1 hour. 120/1.75 is 68.57 miles in one hour, so 68.57 mph.</span>
