A grocer wants to make a 10-pound mixture of cashews and peanuts that he can sell for $3.29 per pound. If cashews cost $5.60 per pound and peanuts cost $2.30 per pound, how many pounds of each must he mix?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

If cashews cost $5.60 per pound and peanuts cost $2.30 per pound, how many pounds of each must he mix?

Step-by-step explanation:

Weegy: x + y = 1 (we want one pound total) 5.60 * x + 2.30 * y = 3.29 (we want 3.29 per pound) Answer: x = . 3, y = . 7 per one pound To get 10 pounds: cashews - 10x = 3 pounds, peanuts - 10y = 7 pounds.

Sam and Mary collect marbles. “If you give me 5 marbles I’ll have twice as many as you.” said Sam to Mary.
“But if you give me 4 marbles wwe would have the same number said Mary to Sam.
How many marbles do they have altogether?

Answers

Answer:

54 marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is a word problem leading to a simultaneous equation

Let 'x' represent the initial number of marbles with Sam, and let 'y' represent the initial number of marbles with Mary,

If Mary gives Sam 5 marbles, we have;

x + 5 = 2 × (y - 5)...(1)

If Sam gives Mary 4 marbles, we get;

x - 4 = y + 4...(2)

From equation (1), we get;

x + 5 = 2 × (y - 5) = 2·y - 10

x = 2·y - 10 - 5 = 2·y - 15

x = 2·y - 15...(3)

From equation (2), we have;

x - 4 = y + 4

∴ x = y + 4 + 4 = y + 8

x = y + 8...(4)

Equating the two values of 'x' in equation (3), and equation (4), we get;

2·y - 15 = y + 8

2·y - y = 8 + 15 = 23

∴ y = 23

From equation (4), we get;

x = y + 8 = 23 + 8 = 31

x = 31

The total number of marbles they have altogether = x + y

However, x + y = 23 + 31 = 54

Therefore;

The total number of marbles they have altogether = 54 marbles.

Evaluate the expression when a=8.

Answer:  158 square feet

=====================================================

Work Shown:

36 inches = 3 feet

Divide by 12 to go from inches to feet

The block has the dimensions

L = 5 ftW = 8 ftH = 3 ft

Use the formula below to calculate the surface area

SA = 2*(LW+LH+WH)

SA = 2*(5*8+5*3+8*3)

SA = 2*(40+15+24)

SA = 2*(79)

SA = 158 square feet

So if you had 158 square feet of wrapping paper, then you can cover this entire 3D box without any gaps or overlaps. The paper can be folded over the box, or you can cut/glue the pieces on, but make sure there isn't any leftover scraps of paper.

A biologist is researching a newly-discovered species of bacteria. At time t = 0 hours, he puts one hundred bacteria into what he has determined to be a favorable growth medium. Six hours later, he measures 450 bacteria. Assuming exponential growth, what is the growth constant "k" for the bacteria? (Round k to two decimal places.) find the
number of bacteria after 13 hours

Answers

Answer:

k=.25068

Step-by-step explanation:

450 = 100 [tex]e^{6k}[/tex]

4.5 =   [tex]e^{6k}[/tex]

ln(4.5) = 6k

k= ln(4.5)/6

k=.25068

The number of bacteria after 13 hours will be 2579.

What is an exponential expression?

Powers can simply be expressed in concise form using exponential expressions. The exponent shows how many times the base has been multiplied. Since 2 is the "base" and 5 is the "exponent," it can be represented as 2x2x2x2=25 for the number 32. This phrase should be understood as "two to the fifth power."

Given that a biologist is researching a newly-discovered species of bacteria. At time t = 0 hours, he puts one hundred bacteria into what he has determined to be a favourable growth medium. Six hours later, he measures 450 bacteria.

The bacteria after 13 hours will be calculated as,

[tex]N=100(e)^{13\times 0.25)[/tex]

[tex]N = 100\times e^{3.25}[/tex]

N = 2579.

Therefore, the number of bacteria after 13 hours will be 2579.

Consider angle θ in Quadrant II, where cosθ=−12/13. What is the value of sinθ?

Answers

Answer:

The value of sin theta is 5/13

Step-by-step explanation:

In the second quadrant, sin is positive and cos is negative

Cos theta = -12/13 = adjacent/hypotenuse

Sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse

opposite = sqrt(hyp² - adj²) = sqrt (13² - 12²) = sqrt (169 - 144) = sqrt (25) = 5

Sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse = 5/13

15. 70° because a right angle is 90° and we have the angle of ADB which is 20°. So 90°-20°=70°.

16. 70° because angle PSQ is 60° and angle QSR is 10°. So 60°+10°=70°.

17. 55° because it says it in the explanation. I assume this is a typo and they meant to ask the measurement of ADC and in that case it would be 130° because angle ADB is 75° and angle BDC is 55°. 75°+55°=130°.

18. 40° because angle PSQ is a right angle which means it's 90°. So 130°-90°=40°.

19. 140° because angle ADB is 120° and angle BDC is 20° so 120°+20°=140°.

20. 125° because again it's in the explanation. But if it's a typo and they meant what is the measurement of PSQ then it is 50° because PSR is 125° and QSR is 75° so 125°-75°=50°.
