\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{lb}{amount}&\stackrel{lb}{price}&\stackrel{total}{price}\\
&------&------&------\\
\textit{6 per lb coffee}&x&6&6x\\
\textit{3.5 per lb coffee}&y&3.5&3.5y\\
-------&------&------&------\\
mixture&25&5.25&131.25
\end{array}

same as before, we add the 1st and 3rd columns, since the mixture is just the sum of the elements above it.

\bf \begin{cases}
x+y=25\implies \boxed{y}=25-x\\
6x+3.5y=131.25\\
----------\\
6x+3.5\left( \boxed{25-x} \right)=131.25
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
6x+87.5-3.5x=131.25\implies 2.5x=131.25-87.5
\\\\\\
2.5x=43.75\implies x=\cfrac{43.75}{2.5}\implies x=17.5

how many lbs will it be of the 3.50 per lb coffee?  well, y = 25 -x.

Marc mixes blue and yellow paint to make his favorite shade of green, which he'll use to paint his house. He has 14 cans of blue
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

2 : 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cans of blue paint = 14

Total cans of yellow paint = 20

Day 1:

Yellow paint = 6 cans

Blue paint = 4 cans

Ratio of blue paints to yellow paint

4 cans : 6 cans

= 2 : 3

Day 2:

Yellow paint = 9 cans

Blue paint = 6 cans

Ratio of blue paints to yellow paint

6 cans : 9 cans

2 : 3

The ratio of blue paint to yellow paint in the mixture is 2 : 3

Day 3:

Cans of yellow remaining after 2 days

Yellow paint = Total cans of yellow paint - day 1 cans of yellow paint - day 2 cans of yellow paint

= 20 - 6 - 9

= 20 - 15

= 5 cans

Cans of blue remaining after 2 days

Blue paint = Total cans of blue paint - day 1 cans of blue paint - day 2 cans of blue paint

= 14 - 4 - 6

= 14 - 10

= 4 cans
