Answer:

1) 27.82$

3) 5.6 lbs

Explanation:

I will describe Dried fruit as x

Mixed nuts as y

and Trail mix as z

__________________________

1) Steven buys 2.32 lbs of z and twice as many lbs of

x

1 lb of z = 3.5 $

2.32 lbs of z = ( 3.5 × 2.32 )$

= 8.12 $

Steven bought twice as many lbs of x

So, there are (2.32 × 2) lbs of x

therefore, Steven bought 4.64 lbs of x

1 lb of x = 4.25 $

4.64 lbs of x = (4.25 × 4.64 ) $

x = 19.72 $

Total cost = 19.72 + 8.12 = 27.84 $

__________________________________________

3) Mario received 0.4 in change from 20.0$ when he bought z

a) I will subtract 0.4 from 20.0 to first solve the problem

b) 20.0 - 0.4 = 19.6 $

(Mario paid 19.6$ for z)

3.5 $ is paid for l lb of z

19.6 $ is paid for = 1 × 19.6 / 3.5

= 196/35

= 5.6 lbs

Mario bought 5.6 lbs of trail mix.

______________________

Now I'm too lazy and tired to type answer the rest. wait for another person to solve the rest.

have a nice day dear.

1.
Trail mix cost = 2.32 pounds times 3.5 per pound = $8.12
Dried fruit cost = 2.32 * 2 * 4.25 per pound= $19.72
Total cost $8.12+$19.72= $27.84

2.
A. Find out home many pounds of each did she buy.
B. Mixed fruit $21.60/$6.75 per pounds = 3.2 pounds of mixed fruits
Dried fruits $11.90/$4.25 per pound = 2.8 pounds.
C. 3.2+2.8 = 6 pounds.

3. A. Find out how much he paid.
B. $20 - 0.40 = 1$19.60.
$19.60/$3.50 per pound = 5.6 pounds of dried fruits.

4. The students made 4 and 1/2 quarts of soup. They served 4/5 of that 4 and 1/2 to their friends. So we need to finds whats 4/5 of 4 and 1/2 quarts of soup.
41/2= 4*2+1 all divided to 2= 9/2
9/2*4/5 = 9*4/2*5= 36/10=18/5.
18/5 divided by 3/5=
18/3 as the 5 cancel each other. 18/3 = 6 servings.
Hector was not wrong. 18/5 in mixed is 3 and 3/5.

5. 4.8 + 5.4 + 6.6 = 16.8 ounces.
A. We find out whats 1/5 of 16.8.
1/5 * 16.8 = 3.36. So 1/5 of a bottle is 3.36.
B. 1/5+1/5= 3.36+3.36 = 6.72 ounces.
She used 2/5 of a bottle which is 6.72 ounces.

Let s say that 16.8 it s a full bottle 5/5
5/5 -2/5 = 3/5
3/5 of 16.8 is 10.08
16.8 ounces -10.08 ounces = 6.72 ounces.
