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

Below are 36 sorted ages of an acting award winner. Find Upper P70 using the method presented in the textbook.
Leona [35]
The upper 70th percentile is the number below which 70% of the data lie.

The 70th percentile position is given by:

P_{70}= \frac{70N}{100} = \frac{70(36)}{100} =25.2

Thus, the 70th percentile position is approximately the 25th data item (after the data has been arranged in acsending order).

Given the following data:
<span>16 24 25 26 27 29 36 39 39 39 40 44 45 47 47 48 50 51 51 53 53 54 57 58
58 60 65 66 67 69 69 71 72 74 74 74

The 25th data in the data set is 58.

Therefore, the upper P70 is 58.

Ifm_2 = 68°, what is the measure of angle 7? 1 2. 3 5 7​
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

∠7=22°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠2 and ∠7 are supplementary angles, meaning they add to 90°.

∠2+∠7=90°

substitute ∠2

68°+∠7=90°

∠7=22°

Use the image below to answer the following question. Find the value of sin x° and cos y°. What relationship do the ratios of si
Inessa [10]

Using relations in a right triangle, it is found that:

  • \sin{x} = \frac{6}{10} = 0.6
  • \cos{y} = \frac{6}{10} = 0.6
  • Since x and y are complementary angles, we have that sin(xº) = cos(yº).

<h3>What are the relations in a right triangle?</h3>

The relations in a right triangle are given as follows:

  • The sine of an angle is given by the length of the opposite side to the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse.
  • The cosine of an angle is given by the length of the adjacent side to the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse.
  • The tangent of an angle is given by the length of the opposite side to the angle divided by the length of the adjacent side to the angle.

The hypotenuse in this problem is given as follows:

h^2 = 6^2 + 8^2

h = \sqrt{100}

h = 10.

The sine of x is:

\sin{x} = \frac{6}{10} = 0.6

The cosine of y is:

\cos{y} = \frac{6}{10} = 0.6

Since x and y are complementary angles, we have that sin(xº) = cos(yº).
