Answer:

5.60 pounds each

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the dry mixture problem.

Let x = the number of pounds of the first type of candy

Therefore, number of pounds of second type of candy = 10-x

Value of first candy + value of second candy = value of mixture

Value of any candy = cost per pound of candy * weight of candy

Thus:

4x + 6(10 - x) = 5.60(10)

4x + 60 - 6x = 56

-2x + 60 = 56

-2x = -4

x = -4/-2

x = 2

Therefore, the number of pounds of first type of candy = 2 pounds

The number of pounds of second type of candy = 10 - 2 = 8 pounds

Check

$4(2) + $6(8) =

           8 + 48 = $5.60(10)

               $56 = $56

*GEOMETRY*please help me find the surface area of the solid along with the volume of it step by step!
Serjik [45]

Surface area of the solid = 7.1781 in²

Volume of the solid = 0.804 in³

Explanation:

Surface area of the solid = surface area of the square prism - 2(base of the cylinder) + lateral surface of cylinder

surface area of a square prism = 2(lw + lh + wh)

l = length = 1 in

w = length = 1 in

h = height = 1 in

\begin{gathered} \text{Surface area = 2(1}\times1\text{ + 1}\times1\text{ + 1}\times1) \\ \text{Surface area = 2(1 + 1 + 1) = 2(3)} \\ \text{Surface area = 6 in }^2 \end{gathered}

using the value π as it is on the calculator

Base area of a cylinder = πr²

2(Base area of cylinder) = 2πr² = 2π(0.25)² = 0.3927

Lateral surface area = 2πrh = 2π(0.25)(1) = 1.5708

Surface area of the solid = 6 - 0.3927 + 1.5708

Surface area of the solid = 7.178 in²

Volume of the solid = Volume of the square prism - volume of the cylinder

Volume of square prism = length × width × height

length = 1 in, width = 1 in, height = 1 in

Volume of the solid = 1 in × 1 in × 1 in = 1 in³

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

Volume of the cylinder = π × 0.25 × 0.25 × 1 = 0.196

Volume of the solid = 1 - 0.196

Volume of the solid = 0.804 in³
