The perimeters of two similar polygons are 20 and 28. One side of the smaller polygon is 4. Find the corresponding side of the larger polygon. 1) 7
2) 5 3/5
3) 2 6/7
4) 5

the answer is d

hope this

delaney would like to make a 5lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds.

she has several pounds of peanuts and several pounds of a mixture that is 20% peanuts and 80% almonds.

let 'p' represent the number of pounds of peanuts needed to make the new mixture, and  

let 'm' represent the number of pounds of the 80% almond-20% peanut mixture.

:

p + m = 5

therefore

m = (5-p)

write an equation based on the percent of peanuts

1p + .2m = .6(5)

replace m with (5-p)

p + .2(5-p) = .6(5)

p + 1 - .2p = 3

p - .2p = 3 - 1

.8p = 2

p = 2/.8

p = 2.5 lbs of peanuts required

then

5 - 2.5 = 2.5 lbs of the peanut/almond mixture required

:

a) what is the system that models this situation?

p + m = 5

1p + .2m = .6(5)

85.3-64 = 21.3

so laura has already added 85.3 grams of chocolate powder and she has gone over the amount specified in the recipe by 21.3 grams

hope i ! have a great  day!
