Answer:

Pounds of raisins = 1.5 lb

Pounds of cashew = 3.5 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Pounds of raisins = x

Pounds of cashew = y

x + y = 5 (1)

4.50x + 9.50y = 40 (2)

From (1)

x = 5 - y

Substitute x = 5 - y into

4.50x + 9.50y = 40

4.50(5 - y) + 9.50y = 40

22.50 - 4.50y + 9.50y = 40

- 4.50y + 9.50y = 40 - 22.50

5y = 17.5

y = 17.5 / 5

= 3.5

y = 3.5lb

Substitute y = 3.5 into

x + y = 5

x + 3.5 = 5

x = 5 - 3.5

= 1.5

x = 1.5lb

Pounds of raisins = 1.5 lb

Pounds of cashew = 3.5 lb

Mai biked 6\frac{3}{4} miles today, and Noah biked 4\frac{1}{2} miles.
Alinara [238K]

It was 1.5 times the length of Noah's bike ride as Mai’s bike ride.

The problem we dealing with is related to mixed numbers which are referred to as mixed numbers and could be the whole number, and a proper division spoke together. It for the most part speaks to a number between any two whole numbers.

Since we are providing mai's rate which is  6 3/4  miles and Noah's  rate of 4 1/2 miles, So in  order to find the time the length of Noah's ride is compared to Mal's, we just need to divide the given rates by each other

=> 6 3/4 divided by 4 1/2,  

=> 27/4 divided by 9/2, (The result is an improper fractions)

=> 27/4 X 2/9

=>3/2

=> 1.5
