Answer: 30 pounds of coffee beans worth $10.50 per pound was used.

20 pounds of coffee beans worth $13.00 per pound was used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of coffee beans worth $10.50 per pound that should be mixed.

Let y represent the number of coffee beans worth $13.00 per pound that should be mixed.

50 pounds of beans worth $11.50 per pound is to be made. The total cost of the mixture would be

50 × 11.5 = 575

This means that

10.5x + 13y = 575 - - - - - - - 1

The total number of pounds of each type of coffee used is 50. This means that

x + y = 50

Substituting x = 50 - y into equation 1, it becomes.

10.5(50 - y) + 13y = 575

525 - 10.5y + 13y = 575

- 10.5y + 13y = 575 - 525

2.5y = 50

y = 50/2.5 = 20

x = 50 - 20= 30

A recipe shows that yeast needed for a bread recipe 2 1/3 ounces. Which of the following decimals is eqivalent to this number?
Olin [163]
The correct answer is B. 2.3. 

For us to know the equivalent decimals of a fraction, you have to use the numerator as the dividend, and the denominator will be your divisor.

The equation will be:

2 + ( 1 / 3 ) 
2 + (0.33333333)
= 2.333333

If you'll have it rounded off, you'll get the answer 2.3.

10. There are nine golf balls numbered from 1 to 9 in a bag. Three balls are randomly selected without replacement to form a 3-d
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

a) 504

b) 56

c) 0.111

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

There are nine golf balls numbered from 1 to 9 in a bag

Three balls are randomly selected without replacement

a) 3-digit numbers that can be formed

= ^nP_r

n = 9

r = 3

= ⁹P₃

= \frac{9!}{9!-3!}

= 9 × 8 × 7

= 504

b)  3-digit numbers start with the digit 1

=  _ _ _

in the above 3 blanks first digit is fixed i.e 1

we and we have 8 choices left for the last 2 digits

Thus,

n = 8

r = 2

Therefore,

= 1 × ⁸P₂

= 1 × \frac{8!}{8!-2!}

= 1 × 8 × 7

= 56

c) Probability that the 3-digit number formed is less than 200

Now,

The number of 3-digit number formed is less than 200 will be the 3-digit numbers start with the digit 1 i.e part b)

and total 3-digit numbers that can be formed is part a)

therefore,

Probability that the 3-digit number formed is less than 200

= 56 ÷ 504

= 0.111
