<h3>Given</h3>
2 milks + 5 waters + 8 chips = $25
water cost = 2×chips cost
milk cost = $1.50 + water cost
<h3>Find</h3>
The cost of each: milk, water, chips.
<h3>Solution</h3>
Let m, w, and c represent the costs of milk, water, and chips, respectively. We can write the given relations more compactly as
... 2m + 5w + 8c = 25
... w = 2c
... m = w + 1.5
We can substitute for w everywhere using the second equation. This gives us
... m = 2c +1.5
... 2(2c+1.5) + 5(2c) + 8(c) = 25
... 22c + 3 = 25
... 22c = 22
... c = 1
Then
... m = 2·1 + 1.5 = 3.5
... w = 2·1 = 2
A gallon of milk costs $3.50, a bottle of water costs $2.00, a bag of chips costs $1.00.
Answer:
71829x
Step-by-step explanation:
The scientist would use milligrams, grams, and kilograms.
The best procedure would be to randomly pick 52 fish from the entire pond and weigh each of them as this would be the most unbiased way to achieve the average mass
So we know if there are 5 groups/dozens of Monarch butterflies, there are 2 groups/dozens of Queen butterflies. In other words, there are 5 Monarch butterflies for every 2 Queen butterflies.
Then we can turn that into an equation.
From the last equation we wrote we can see that the total number of butterflies in the farm is
.
When we compare the Queen butterflies to total butterflies, we get
The ratio of Queen butterflies to total butterflies is 2:7.
