Let x be the amount of Columbian coffee in the mixture and y the amount of Sumatra coffee in the mixture, then
x + y = 1 . . . (1)
9.25x + 14.25y = 12.50 . . . (2)

(1) x 9.25 => 9.25x + 9.25y = 9.25 . . . (3)

(2) - (3) => 5y = 3.25 => y = 3.25/5 = 0.65

From (1), x + 0.65 = 1 => x = 1 - 0.65 = 0.35

1 pound of the mixture contains 0.35 Columbian coffee and 0.65 Sumatra coffee
Therefore, 12 pounds of the mixture will contain 0.35 x 12 = 4.2 pounds of Columbian coffee and 0.65 x 12 = 7.8 pounds of Sumatra coffee

How long will it take $5500 to grow to $7400 at an interest rate of 5% it the interest is compounded continuouslyRound the numbe
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

 5.93 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The continuous compounding formula tells you the amount after t years will be ...

  A = Pe^(rt) . . . . principal P compounded continuously at annual rate r for t years

  7400 = 5500e^(0.05t)

  ln(7400/5500) = 0.05t . . . . divide by 5500, take natural logs

  t = 20×ln(74/55) ≈ 5.93

It will take about 5.93 years for $5500 to grow to $7400.

The problem is 6.82/1,000 what does that equal to ?
Dovator [93]
When you divide something by 10, yo move the decimal place one place to the left so exg
20.0/10=2.0

so divide by 1000 means move the decimal place 3 places to the left so if you had 20,000.0/1000=20.0 so
6.82/1000=0.00682

Guys what is the definition of consecutive numbers? Anyone know? 20 points for first answer!!
trapecia [35]

They are integers that follow one right after another. For example the set {1,2,3,4,5} represents consecutive numbers. Another example would be {9,10,11,12,13}

In general, if x is some integer, then x+1 is the next integer right after x, and x+2 is right after x+1 and so on. The list is {x, x+1, x+2, x+3, ...} representing any general set of consecutive numbers.
