A large bag of cashews weighs 9 1/4 pounds. One serving is 1/5 pound. How many servings are in the bag.

Answer as a mixed number = 46 & 1/4

Answer as a decimal = 46.25

Work Shown:

9 & 1/4 = 9 + 1/4 = 9 + 0.25 = 9.25

1/5 = 0.2

A bag of cashews weighs 9.25 pounds and one serving is 0.2 pounds.

Let x be the number of servings

1 serving = 0.2 pounds

x servings = 0.2x pounds after multiplying both sides by x

0.2x pounds represents the total bag's weight so,

0.2x = 9.25

x = 9.25/0.2

x = 46.25 answer in decimal form

x = 46 + 0.25

x = 46 + 1/4

x = 46 & 1/4  answer in mixed number form

This means we have 46 full servings plus an additional 1/4 of a serving.

∠acb = 8°

step-by-step explanation:

∠xba lies on the circle and is half the measure of the intercepted arc ax

hence

measure of arc ax = 2 × 42° = 84°

∠acb is outside the circle and is

∠acb = (arcab - arcax ), hence

∠acb = 0.5 (100 - 84) = 0.5 × 16° = 8°
