5x = length
4x = width
324 = perimeter
formula: P = 2(length) + 2(width)
324 = 2(5x) + 2(4x)
324 = 10x + 8x
324 = 18x
18 = x
Substitute the value of x = 18
Length = 5x = 5(18) = 90meters
Width = 4x = 4(18) = 72meters
Y=k/x²; substitute x=1 and y=1/8: 1/8=k. So y=1/(8x²)
When x=5, y=1/(8×25)=1/200.
This is a typical mixture problem where using a table is the best thing.
pints juice % juice = total % juice
juice A x .70 = .70x
juice B 60-x .95 = .95(60-x)
total 60 .75 = 60(.75)
The last row gives you a total that you need to use, so do that multiplication to get 45. You now to need to add the last columns together for rows 1 and 2 and set them equal to 45: .7x +.95(60-x) = 45. When you do that math, you'll get that x = 48. This means that you need 48 pints of juice A and 60-48 pints of juice B, which is 12 pints.
Thank you so much, you too.
