The dairy farmer would mix 1120 pounds of 75% protein supplement and 280 pounds of 50% protein ration to make 1400 pounds of a high grade 70% protein ration.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Let x represent the amount of 75% protein supplement and y represent the amount of 50% protein, hence:

x + y = 1400     (1)

Also:

0.75x + 0.5y = 0.7(1400)     (2)

Hence:

x = 1120, y = 280

The dairy farmer would mix 1120 pounds of 75% protein supplement and 280 pounds of 50% protein ration to make 1400 pounds of a high grade 70% protein ration.

5) Answer: 1:65 (Hours:Miles)
3 and 195 is divisible by 3. (195 is divisible by 3 because 1+9+5=15, getting the sum of numbers will get a smaller number, and if that number, 15 in this case, is divisible by 3, then the larger number is divisible by 3. 195/3=65, so 1:65
