Answer: Jenny's aunt should buy 4 pounds of pecans.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of almonds that Jenny's aunt should buy.

Let y represent the number of pounds of pecans that Jenny's aunt should buy.

She wants to buy 6 pounds of nuts. This means that

x + y = 6

If almonds cost $7 per pound and pecans cost $9 per pound and she wants to spend $50, it means that

7x + 9y = 50- - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 6 - y into equation 1, it becomes

7(6 - y) + 9y = 50

42 - 7y + 9y = 50

- 7y + 9y = 50 - 42

2y = 8

y = 8/2

y = 4

x = 6 - y = 6 - 4

x = 2

A bricklayer needs to order 6300kg of building sand
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

9\times 10^7\ \text{grains of sand}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A bricklayer needs to order 6300kg of building sand.

1 grain of this sand weighs 7\times 10^{-5}\ kg.

We need to find how many grains of sand are there in 6300 kg.

It can be just calculated as follows :

1 grain of sand =  7\times 10^{-5}\ kg

6300\ kg=\dfrac{6300}{7\times 10^{-5}}\\\\=9\times 10^7\ \text{grains of sand}

or

= 90000000  grans of sand

So, 6300 kg is equal to 9\times 10^7\ \text{grains of sand}.

You help your dad build a dog house for your dog. You tell him that it would be easy to build a dog house in the shape of a tent
Effectus [21]
3 feet tall
If it is in the shape of a tent and the floor is 8 feet across half of it cut down the middle would be 4 ft, you create a right triangle and can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the height. 5 is the hypotenuse and 4 is a leg.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Plug in  the values known
4^2 +b^2 = 5^2
simplify
16+b^2=25
subtract 16 from both sides
b^2=9
take the square root of both sides
b=3 the hight is 3 ft
