Lets make a equal the amount of mixture a and b the amount of mixture b.  You can made an equation .10a+.50b=.20(15) and a+b=15.  So then you make the system of equations:
.10a+.50b=3
a+b=15
I would substitute b in the first equation with b=15-a to get the single equation .10a+.50(15-b)=3 and then solve for b.
.10a+7.5-.5a=3
-.4a+7.5=3
-.40b=-4.5
a=11.25
With that value of a you can find that b=3.75
Therefore you you have to mix 11.25 cups of 10% juice with 3.75 cups of 50% juice to get 15 cups of 20% juice.

This is how I would solve the question.  I don't really know what the question means by setting up a table so I hope this method is fine. If it is not please let me know in the comments so that I can try to fix it.
I hope this helps.

P.S. Let me know if you want me to try to explain to you how I got my first equation.  You have to use knowledge that you will eventually learn in chemistry when going over the unit that introduces you to solutions.

What is the sum of an even number plus an odd number? please explain in detail only please, everyone is saying its always odd, o
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The sum of an even number plus an odd number is odd.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of an even number and an odd number is odd.

For example:

2+3=5

11+10=21

51+32=83

The end digit of an even number is always 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8

The end digit of an odd number is 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9.

So if we add only the end digit of an even and an odd number we can find no combination that can give end digit 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8(i.e even).

Hence, the sum of an even number plus an odd number is odd.

At a hockey game, a vendor sold a combined total of 148 sodas and hot dogs. The number of sodas sold was three times the number
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

37 hot dogs and 111 sodas

Step-by-step explanation:

148 divided by 4= 37

148 - 37= 111

if the number of sodas was three times it would have to be broken up into three groups making the hot dogs 37 and sodas three times the amout would be 111. hope this helped sorry for any spelling mistakes

A sample of blood pressure measurements is taken for a group of​ adults, and those values​ (mm Hg) are listed below. The values
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Systolic variation coefficient (CVS) = 0.1446 = 14.46%

Diastolic variation coefficient (CVD) =  0.1789 = 17.89%

The variation, with respect to the mean, of the systolic pressure sample is slightly less than the variation of the Diastolic pressures.

Step-by-step explanation:

Systolic Mean (MS) = 127.8

Diastolic Mean (MD) = 73.5

Standard Deviation Systolic (sdS) = 18,486

Standard Deviation Diastolic (sdD) = 13.1508

The coefficient of variation is defined by:

Systolic variation coefficient (CVS) = sdS / MS = 18.486 / 127.8 = 0.1446 = 14.46%

Diastolic variation coefficient (CVD) = sdD / MD = 13.1508 / 73.5 = 0.1789 = 17.89%

Then, it can be concluded that the variation, with respect to the mean, of the systolic pressure sample is slightly less than the variation of the Diastolic pressures.
