90kg of sand was divided into 3 bags, constituting a total of 2+3+7=12 sections.
90kg/12=7.5kg
The smaller bag comprises 2 sections, hence it weighs 7.5kg*2=15kg
The medium-sized bag consists of 3 sections, leading to a total weight of 7.5kg*3=22.5kg
The larger bag encompasses 7 sections, resulting in a weight of 7.5kg*7=52.5kg
Thus, the ratio 2:3:7 translates to 15kg:22.5kg:52.5kg
Verifying, 15kg+22.5kg+52.5kg equals 90kg

Delaney would like to make a 10 lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and and 40% almonds. She has several pounds of peanuts and se
AnnZ [12381]

Response:

If there are "p" pounds of peanuts and "m" pounds of a mixture containing '20% peanuts and 80% almonds', then we can formulate the following equations:

p + m = 10 -----------(1) and

4m/5 = 4 ------------(2)

The solution yields 5 lb peanuts and 5 lb mixture.

Detailed explanation:

In the mixture that Delaney desires to create, there will be

\frac {10 \times 60}{100} lb

= 6 lb of peanuts

Thus, there will be (10 - 6) lb

= 4 lb of almonds

If Delaney has "p" pounds of peanuts and "m" pounds of the '20% peanuts and 80% almonds' mixture, then based on the problem statement,

p + m = 10 -----------(1) and

4m/5 = 4 ------------(2)

From equation (2), we derive

m = 5 --------------(3)

From (1) and (3), we find that

p = (10 - 5) = 5

Solve x − 5y = 6 for x.
Inessa [12570]
The solution encompasses all real numbers. Detailed explanation: To solve a system of equations by elimination, from the given equation, you can derive y to obtain y = x - 6. Substituting this back leads to x - 5(y) = 6, eventually arriving at 6 = 6, thus indicating a solution of all real numbers.

AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Each sandwich costs 6 dollars, while chips sell for 3 dollars. She purchased 5 sandwiches at 6 dollars each, amounting to 30 dollars (5*6=30). This leaves her with 12 dollars to use since her total expenditure was 42 dollars. Given that chips are 3 dollars each, with 12 dollars left, 4 bags could be bought (4 * 3 = 12).

Leona [12618]

The provided values are

$85 $240 $120 $60 $315 $190 $145 $105 $285 $260 $95 $215 $235 $175 $155

To start, we will arrange these in ascending order

resulting in

$60 $85 $95  $105  $120  $145 $155 $175 $190 $215 $235 $240 $260 $285 $315

The total count is 15

the position of 105 is 4

Now, we can calculate the percentile

=\frac{4}{15} *100

Thus, the percentile for the bid of $105 is 26.667%...........Response
