a coffee retailer has two grades of decaffeinated coffee beans, one wholesales at $4.00 a pound and the other for 6.50 a pound. she wishes to blend the beans to form a 150 pound mixture that sells wholesale for 4.75 a pound. how many pounds of each grade of bean should she use in the mixture?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve mixture problems like this the best way is to make a table. Here's the basic format of the table we will use, calling the first coffee C1 and the second coffee C2:

                 #lbs        x         $/lb         =       Total

C1

C2

Mix

This is the table we will fill in. First, we were given the cost per pound of each type of coffee, so we put that in first:

                #lbs        x         $/lb         =        Total

C1                                        4

C2                                     6.50

Mix

Next, we are told that she wants to make a mix of these coffees so she has a total number of pounds as 150 and that she wants it to cost $4.75 per pound. That goes in next:

                #lbs        x        $/lb        =        Total

C1                                         4

C2                                     6.50

Mix           150         *          4.75

That asterisk is the multiplication sign.

Here's where we are now responsible for filling out the rest of the chart. If she needs to mix these 2 coffees to get a mix that is `150 pounds, she can have x pounds of C1 which means that she has to have 150 - x of C2:

                #lbs       x        $/lb        =         Total

C1                x         *           4

C2         150 - x      *        6.50

Mix           150        *         4.75  

Now all we have left to do is what the table tells us to do, which is to multiply the first 2 columns and put that product under the Total column:

                #lbs        x        $/lb        =        Total

C1                x           *          4           =          4x

C2         150 - x        *       6.50        =     975 - 6.50x

Mix            150         *        4.75        =     712.50

Since we have to add the 2 coffees together to get the pounds of mix in the first column, we also have to add the cost of those coffees together to get the total cost of the mix. The equation looks like this:

4x + 975 - 6.50x = 712.50 and combining like terms:

-2.5x = -262.5 so

x = 105

That means that there is 105 pounds of coffee 1 and 150 - 105 pounds of coffee 2.

C1 = 105 pounds, C2 = 45 pounds

Answers

Answer:

x = 8 and y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations are :

2x -y  = 6 ....(1)

-9x + 3y = -42 ....(2)

Multiply eqation (1) by 3.

6x - 3y = 18 .....(3)

Adding equation (2) and (3).

-9x + 3y + 6x - 3y = -42 +18

-3x = -24

x = 8

Put the value of x in equation (1).

2(8) -y  = 6

16 - 6 = y

y = 10

Hence, the values of x and y are 8 and 10 respectively.

Last month Maria hiked a total of 90 miles on two trails: a 5-mile mountain trail and a 10-mile canal trail. Let x represent the number of times Maria hiked the mountain trail, and let y represent the number of times Maria hiked the canal trail.

Which equation can be used to find the number of times Maria hiked each trail?

x + y = 90
5x – 10y = 90
90 – 10y = 5x
90 + 10y = 5x

Answers

The equation can be used to find the number of times Maria hiked each trail is 5x + 10y = 90

Equation

let

number of times Maria hiked the mountain trail = xnumber of times Maria hiked the canal trail = y

5x + 10y = 90

Therefore, the equation to represent the number of times Maria hiked each trail is 5x + 10y = 90

Find the volume of the sphere. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Radius is 12ft

Answers

Answer: 7238.2[tex]ft^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a sphere's volume is  [tex]V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3[/tex].

Substitute r = 12 in the formula: [tex]V=\frac{4}{3} \pi (12)^3[/tex]

Then calculate (type the right side of the equation above in your calculator), and you will get an answer of 2304π. When you simplify further, you get 7238.22947. Rounded to the nearest tenth, it is 7238.2.

∴, the volume of the sphere is 7238.2[tex]ft^3[/tex], to the nearest tenth.

*note: it's [tex]ft^3[/tex] (feet cubed) because a sphere is a 3D object, so its volume is also a 3D measurement.

So the question is just asking for you to simplify the inequality until you get an answer.

1. Open the bracket on the left side. If you open it, you get 4x+8 > 8x - 3

2. Know - 4x from both side so you dont have x on 1 side. So 8 > 4x - 3

3. Get rid of the -3 from the right side by adding 3 onto both side. So 11>4x

4. Now you can divide by 4 on each side. x<2.75

= x < 2.75 (x is smaller than 2.75) .

You can write 2.75 > x. It is the same thing but I like writing my x first :)

It's C

Step-by-step explanation: I took the test and got it wrong

The third term of the given sequence exists 19.

Term to term rule when the sequence [tex]$-2,1,19 \ldots .$[/tex] is reversed will be [tex]$\frac{a-13}{6}$[/tex].

What is a sequence?

The sequence exists in a particular order in which connected things follow each other.

The term-to-term rule of the sequence stands 6a+13, where a stands for the first term First-term a = -2

Second term b will be [tex]$-2*6+13=1$[/tex]

The rule for the third term will be 6b+13, where b will be the second term. So the third term will be [tex]$6* 1+13=19$[/tex]

So, the sequence will be [tex]$-2,1,19 \ldots \ldots . .$[/tex]

If the order of the above sequence stands reversed, the new sequence will be [tex]$19,1,-2 \ldots \ldots .$[/tex]

If we subtract 13 from first term 19 and then divide by 6 we will get 1 which stands for the second term of the new sequence [tex]$19,1,-2 \ldots \ldots .$[/tex]

So a new term-to-term sequence rule will be [tex]$\frac{a-13}{6}$[/tex] where a stands for the first term.

Therefore, the third term of the given sequence exists 19.

Term to term rule when the sequence [tex]$-2,1,19 \ldots .$[/tex]  exists reversed will be [tex]$\frac{a-13}{6}$[/tex].

a. 6
b. 7

Answers

If the polynomial has integer coefficients, then any complex roots with non-zero imaginary part must occur along with their conjugates. If a + bi is a root, then so is a - bi.

The given polynomial would then have at least 6 roots: √2, 2, √2 + i and √2 - i, and 2 + 2i and 2 - 2i. So the minimum degree is (A) 6.
