Number of pounds of macadamia nuts is 8 pounds and number of pounds of almonds is 4 pounds.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Step 1:
Given total pounds of mixture = 12 pounds, cost of macadamia nuts per pound = $9, cost of almonds per pound = $5.25, total cost of mixture per pound = $7.75.
Let number of pounds of macadamia nuts be x and number of pounds of almonds be 12-x.
Step 2:
Form an equation using the above information.
⇒ 9x + 5.25 (12-x) = 12 × 7.75
⇒ 9x + 63 - 5.25x = 93
⇒ 9x - 5.25x = 30
⇒ 3.75x = 30
⇒ x = 8
Number of macadamia nuts is 8 pounds.
Step 3:
Calculate number pounds of almonds
⇒ Number of pounds of almonds = 12 - x = 4 pounds.
4 5/8 as an improper fraction is 37/8
——> 8*4=32 32+5=37
As a mixed number it is the same I think. 5 can’t decide into 8 so it stays 4 5/8.
Hopefully this helps...
Answer:
if I'm solving for x, then its 2

Answer: PQ = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
You would divide 21/14 to see what the size difference in the triangles is to get 1.5. 1.5x12=18
