Sarah Meeham blends coffee for Tasti-Delight. She needs to prepare 160 pounds of blended coffee beans selling for $4.97 per poun

d. She plans to do this by blending together a high quality bean costing $6.00 per pound and a cheaper bean at $3.25 per pound. To the nearest pound, find how much high quality coffee bean and how much cheaper coffee bean she should blend.

Given:
let h be the high quality bean
let c be the cheaper bean

h + c = 160
6h + 3.25c = 160*4.97
6h + 3.25c = 795.20

h = 160 - c
6(160 - c) + 3.25c = 795.20
960 - 6c + 3.25c = 795.20
-2.75c = 795.20 - 960 
-2.75c = -164.80
c = -164.80 / -2.75
c = 59.92 or 60 lbs

h = 160 - c
h = 160 - 60
h = 100 lbs

Sarah should blend 60 lbs of cheap coffee bean and 100 lbs of high quality coffee bean.

The pitch of a roof is its slope. The roof of a home rises vertically a distance of 8 ft through a horizontal distance of 15 ft.
PIT_PIT [208]
If we discuss this as if it is a triangle then the "rise" is the vertical side and the "run" is the adjacent side.
So the ratio of the rise to the run is 8 / 15 which equals <span> <span> <span> 0.5333333333 </span> </span> </span>
To find the angle of this roof pitch we look up the arc tangent of <span> <span> <span> 0.5333333333  </span> </span> </span> and we find that is 28.072 Degrees

The table below represents the displacement of a horse from its barn as a function of time:
katovenus [111]

A. The y-intercept (b) of a linear equation is obtained when x = 0. Therefore from the given table,

y - intercept = 8

Since at time zero the displacement is 8 ft, this means that the horse was already outside the barn initially.

B. The average rate of change of the function represents the slope of the linear equation (m). This can be calculated using the formula:

average rate of change = m = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1)

m = (158 – 58) / (3 – 1)

m = 50

<span>C.  Since we have determine the y-intercept and the slope, we can formulate the linear equation:</span>

y = m x + b

y = 50 x + 8

The domain is the value of x. When y = 508, x is equivalent to

508 = 50 x + 8

<span>x = 10 hrs</span>

Please help!!

For this case we have the following equation:
 d =  \sqrt{\frac{3h}{2}}
 Where,
 d: the distance they can see in thousands
 h: their eye-level height in feet
 For Kaylib:
 d = \sqrt{\frac{3(48)}{2}}
 d=\sqrt{3(24)}
 d=\sqrt{72}
 d=6\sqrt{2}
 For Addison:
 d = \sqrt{\frac{3(85\frac{1}{3})}{2}}
 d = \sqrt{\frac{256}{2}}
 d=\sqrt{128}
 d=8\sqrt{2}
 Subtracting both distances we have:
 8\sqrt{2} - 6\sqrt{2} = 2\sqrt{2}
 Answer:
 
2\sqrt{2}
