Final answer:
To find the weight of each bag Brandon created after mixing 6.83 lb of cashews with 3.57 lb of pistachios and having 0.35 lb left over, you subtract the leftover weight from the total and divide by the number of bags. The calculation shows that each bag would approximately weigh 1.675 lb.
Step-by-step explanation:
The subject of this question is Mathematics. Brandon mixed 6.83 lb of cashews with 3.57 lb of pistachios. After dividing the mixture into 6 bags and having 0.35 lb left, we need to calculate the weight of each bag.
To calculate the weight of each bag, we first determine the total weight of the mixture by adding the weight of the cashews and pistachios, which is 6.83 lb + 3.57 lb = 10.40 lb. Then we subtract the weight left over, which is 0.35 lb, leaving us with 10.40 lb - 0.35 lb = 10.05 lb to be divided into the 6 bags.
Next, we divide the total weight to be distributed into the bags, 10.05 lb, by the number of bags, which is 6. So each bag would weigh 10.05 lb ÷ 6 approximates to 1.675 lb per bag. This is the weight of each bag of the mixture that Brandon has created..
