For this, you would use simultaneous equations.
w=walnuts
a=almonds
3w+6a=51
5w+4a=55
Find a way to make one of the unknowns equal. since we are trying to work out the price of a pound of walnuts, I am going to make a equal on each side to leave us with w. This leaves us with:
15w+12a=165
6w+12a=102
Then take them away to leave w:
9w=163
Then solve:
w=163/9
= 18.11111111...
Then round it to 2 decimal places as the measurement is currency.
So 1 pound of walnuts equals $18.11
i dont understand the question
Answer:
Approximately 24–36 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Weight of standard American Eskimo dog has mean= 30 pounds
A standard deviation= 2 pounds
For 99.7% of the dogs according to normal distribution would lie between 3 standard deviations on either side of the mean.
i.e. lower bound= Mean- 3 (standard deviation)
= 30-3(2)
=30-6
=24
Upper bound = Mean +3 (standard deviation)
= 30+3(2)
=30+6
=36
Hence the range of weights : 24-36 pounds
correct answer Approximately 24–36 pounds!
I cant really see the words
Let the measure of the second angle be x.
The first angle has measure 3x - 34.
The sum of the measures is 180.
x + 3x - 34 = 180
4x - 34 = 180
4x = 214
x = 53.5
The second angle has measure 53.5 deg.
3x - 34 = 3 * 53.5 - 34 = 160.5 - 34 = 126.5
The measure of the first angle is 126.5 deg.
Answer: The measures are 126.5 deg and 53.5 deg.
