put in an positive number for x and check
2 - 5 = -3
5 - 2 = 3
- 2 + 5 = 3
5 + (-2) = 2
so the only different one is the first
I am pretty sure it's 82/100.
Answer: Machine A makes popcorn at a rate of 4.25 ozs per minute (12.75oz/3min).
Machine B makes popcorn at a rate of 4.5 ozs per minute (18oz/4min).
Machine A will make 4.25oz/min * 10minutes = 42.5oz of popcorn after 10 minutes
Machine B will make 4.5oz/min * 10 minutes = 45oz of popcorn after 10 minutes
After 10 minutes there will be a total of 42.5oz (Machine A) +45oz (Machine B) = 87.5oz.
So the answer is: Yes there will be (more than) enough popcorn if both machines make popcorn for 10 minutes.
If the question is wondering how many 9oz bags they can fill: 87.5oz/9oz per bag = 9.7222 bags. The machines can fill 9, 9oz, bags with some popcorn leftover.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
4.5 % alloy
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = amt of 30% alloy
The resulting total is to be 25 oz, therefore:
(25-x) = amt of 5% alloy:
A typical mixture equation:
.30x + .05(25-x) = .20(25)
.30x + 1.25 - .05x = 5 .30x - .05x = 5 - 1.25
.25x = 3.75
x = 3.75%2F.25
x = 15 oz of 30% alloy required
then
25-15 = 10 oz of 5% alloy:
Check solution
.30(15) + .05(10) = .20(25)
4.5 + .5 = 5
