Answer:

one paperback = 0.6 pounds

one textbook = 3.6 pounds

Explanation:

Let the mass of one paperback be 'p' and one textbook be 't'.

Equation one:

sum of mass = total mass in box

  • 20p + 9t = 44.4

Equation two:

  • 20p + 5p + 9t + 1t = 51
  • 25p + 10t = 51

make 't' subject

  • 10t = 51 - 25p
  • t = 5.1 - 2.5p

Insert this into equation one:

20p + 9(5.1 - 2.5p) = 44.4

20p + 45.9 - 22.5p = 44.4

20p - 22.5p = 44.4 - 45.9

-2.5p = -1.5

p = 0.6

The weight of 1 paperback is 0.6 pounds.

The weight of 1 textbook:

t = 5.1 - 2.5p

t = 5.1 - 2.5(0.6)

t = 3.6

The weight of 1 textbook is 3.6 pounds.

Over the weekend, Mario bicycled 43 miles. On Sunday he rode 3 miles more than two-thirds of his distance on Saturday. Find the
aleksklad [387]
We can solve this by writing down all of the variables we know. We will call the distance traveled on Saturday, x. The distance traveled on Sunday will be y.

x = distance traveled saturday
y = distance traveled sunday

We are told that on sunday he rode 3 miles more than 2/3 the distance on saturday. We can write a new formula.

y = (2/3)x + 3

We also not the total distance travelled, x + y = 43, now we solve for x.

x + y = 43
x + (2/3)x + 3 = 43
5/3x = 40
x = 24 miles

y = (2/3)(24)+3
y = 19 miles

Therefore, Mario biked 24 miles on Saturday and 19 miles on Sunday which gives us the total of 43 miles for the whole weekend.
