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
Use dimensional analysis. 1 lb = 16 oz will be the conversion factor. 162 oz x (1 lb/16 oz) = 10.125 lb.
