I believe the correct answer is D - 25 centimeters based on my calculations
Let
x = pounds of peanuts
y = pounds of cashews
z = pounds of Brazil nuts.
The total pounds is 50, therefore
x + y + z = 50 (1)
The total cost is $6.60 per pound for 50 pounds of mixture.
The total is equal to the sum of the costs of the different nuts.
Because the cost for peanuts, cashews, and Brazil nuts are $3, $10, and $9 respectively, therefore
3x + 10y + 9z = 50*6.8
3x + 10y + 9z = 340 (2)
There are 10 fewer pounds of cashews than peanuts, therefore
x = y + 10 (3)
Substitute (3) into (1) and (2).
y + 10 + y + z = 50
2y + z = 40 (4)
3(y + 10) + 10y + 9z = 340
13y + 9z = 310 (5)
From (4),
z = 40 - 2y (6)
Substitute (6) into (5).
13y + 9(40 - 2y) = 310
-5y = -50
y = 10
z = 40 - 2y = 40 - 20 = 20
x = y + 10 = 20
Answer:
Peanuts: 20 pounds
Cashews: 10 pounds
Brazil nuts: 20 pounds
Answer:1/12 left
Step-by-step explanation: you should switch both into the same denominator for the fractions so that would turn into 3/12 and 8/12 then add them up to get 11/12 so he has 1/12 left
The proportion of production that is defective and from plant A is
... 0.35·0.25 = 0.0875
The proportion of production that is defective and from plant B is
... 0.15·0.05 = 0.0075
The proportion of production that is defective and from plant C is
... 0.50·0.15 = 0.075
Thus, the proportion of defective product that is from plant C is
... 0.075/(0.0875 +0.0075 +0.075) = 75/170 = 15/34 ≈ 44.12%
_____
P(C | defective) = P(C&defective)/P(defective)
For any quadrilateral to be a parallelogram
i) either both the pairs of opposite sides must be equal
ii) Both the pairs of opposite sides must be parallel
iii) Opposite pairs of angles must be equal
iv) Diagonals must bisect each other.
v) A pair of opposite sides must be parallel and equal
Here we are already given that AB || CD
So either we should be given that AD || BC
or we must be given that AB = CD
Here it is given AB = CD as an option.
So Option A) or the first option is the right answer that AB ≅CD is needed to prove ABCD is a parallelogram.
