Answer:

Silk = x = 1.5 yards

Cotton = y = 2.75 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 4.25

16.90x + 4y = 36.35

1. The solution to the equation represent number of yards of silk and number of yards of cotton bought.

2.

x + y = 4.25 (1)

16.90x + 4y = 36.35 (2)

Multiply (1) by 4

4x + 4y = 17 (3)

16.90x + 4y = 36.35 (2)

Subtract (3) from (2)

16.90x - 4x = 36.35 - 17

12.90x = 19.35

Divide both sides by 12.90

x = 19.35 / 12.90

= 1.5

x = 1.5 yards

Substitute x = 1.5 yards into (1)

x + y = 4.25

1.5 + y = 4.25

y = 4.25 - 1.5

= 2.75

y = 2.75 yards

Silk = x = 1.5 yards

Cotton = y = 2.75 yards

Kipish [7]
The answer is b. Notice that the problem is looking for the reaction to product ratio, which is tricky because it's easy to follow the order of the column and calculate the inverse of it. Check the first ratio, 0.3/2=0.15, we can immediately choose b out of the other 4 choices.
