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.
Answer:
17/12= 1 5/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Common denominator:
2/3= 8/12
3/4= 9/12
Solve:
8+9= 17
17/12= 1 5/12
Answer:
8. 0
9. undefined
Step-by-step explanation:
8. 0
> because the y variable is the same for all x-values, this is a horizontal line. Horizontal lines have a slope of 0.
> <em>Thinking of slope as rise over run: we will always rise 0, and run __ from any two points--0 divided by any number is always 0</em>
9. undefined
> because the x variable is always the same, no matter what y variable we graph, we will have the same outcome. So, this would look like a straight line, which have an undefined slope.
> <em>If you think of a slope as rise / run; if you go from any two points, there will be a 0 in the denominator--which is undefined</em>
