Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, you can write the following equations:

x+y=300 (1)

5x+8y=300*7

5x+8y=2100(2)

First, you can isolate x in (1):

x=300-y (3)

Now, you can replace (3) in (2):

5(300-y)+8y=2100

1500-5y+8y=2100

3y=2100-1500

y=600/3

y=200

Then, you can replace the value of y in (3) to find x:

x=300-200

x=100

According to this, the answer is that he should use 100 pounds of dried pineapple and 200 pounds of dried apricots.

a jogger runs 4 miles per hour faster downhill than uphill. if the jogger can run 5 miles downhill in the same time that it take
Serga [27]

Answer: the rate uphill is 6 mph.

The rate downhill is 10 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the rate at which the jogger ran uphill.

The jogger runs 4 miles per hour faster downhill than uphill. This means that speed at which the jogger ran downhill is (x + 4) mph

Time = distance/speed

if the jogger can runs 5 miles downhill, then the time taken to run downhill is

5/(x + 4)

At the same time, the jogger runs 3 miles uphill. It means that the time taken to run uphill is

3/x

Since the time is the same, it means that

5/(x + 4) = 3/x

Cross multiplying, it becomes

5 × x = 3(x + 4)

5x = 3x + 12

5x - 3x = 12

2x = 12

x = 12/2

x = 6

The rate downhill is 6 + 4 = 10 mph
