Answer:

<u><em>First type</em></u>

nonpareils=43376.66 pounds

peanut clusters= 70070 pounds

<u><em>Second type</em></u>

peanut clusters= 43793.75 pounds

chocolate-covered raisins= 75075 pounds

<u><em>Third type</em></u>

nonpareils= 86753.33 pounds

peanut clusters= 26276.25 pounds

chocolate-covered raisins= 45045 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Types of party mixes;

nonpareils

peanut clusters

chocolate-covered raisins

Store has

130130 pounds of nonpareils

140140 pounds of peanut clusters

120120 pounds of chocolate-covered raisins

Ratio of % ages nonpareils of first and third types is given below;

2020:4040

or

1:2

Sum of ratios = 1+2=3

So %age share of First type nonpareils= 1× 130130/3=43376.66 pounds

and %age share of Third type = 2 × 130130/3=86753.33 pounds

Ratio of peanut clusters in each type

8080 : 5050 : 3030

or 808:505:303

sum of ratios = 808+505+303=1616

%age share of peanut clusters of First type = 808× 140140/1616=70070 pounds

%age share of peanut clusters of Second type = 505× 140140/1616=43793.75 pounds

%age share of peanut clusters of third type = 303 × 140140/1616=26276.25 pounds

Ratio of chocolate-covered raisins in second and third types;

5050: 3030

or

505:303

Sum of ratios = 505+303=808

%age of chocolate-covered raisins of second type =505×120120/808=75075 pounds

%age ratio of chocolate-covered raisins of third type = 303× 120120/808=45045 pounds

Answer:

<h2>There remains 7/6 of pie.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

The remaining parts are 1/3 of one pie and 5/6 of the other pie.

To find how much pie is remaining, we just need to sum those fractions.

$\frac{1}{3}+\frac{5}{6}=\frac{6+15}{18} =\frac{21}{18} =\frac{7}{6}$

Therefore, there remains 7/6 of pie. They ate just 1/6.

Rebecca went swimming yesterday. After a while she had covered one fifth of her intended distance. After swimming six more lengt

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Option E.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the intended length of Rebecca's swimming is = x units

and we assume the length of the pool = l units

Now it is given in the question that " She covers one fifth of her intended distance "

That means distance covered = $\frac{x}{5}$

" After swimming six more lengths of the pool she had covered one quarter of her intended distance"

So $\frac{x}{5}+6(l)=\frac{x}{4}$

$6l=\frac{x}{4}-\frac{x}{5}$

$6l=\frac{x}{20}$

x = 20×(6l)

x = 120l

Therefore, Rebecca has to complete 120 lengths of the pool.

Option E is the answer.
