Answer:
The boys club sold 52 bags of hardwood mulch and 84 bags of pine bark mulch
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the number of bags of hardwood mulch sold
y ----> the number of bags of pine bark mulch sold
we know that
A local boys club sold 136 bags of mulch and made a total of $400
so
----> equation A
----> equation B
Solve the system by graphing
Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs
Using a graphing tool
The solution is the point (52,84)
see the attached figure
therefore
The boys club sold 52 bags of hardwood mulch and 84 bags of pine bark mulch
Slope: 3, y-intercept: 4, equation: y = 3x + 4
2/8
there’s 8 total pies and among all of them, there’s only 2 large pies
so 2 large pies out of eight pies
1) you would need to turn both fractions so they have a common denominator, that would be 2 2/4 and 3/4
2) then subtract : 2 2/4 - 3/4, and you would subtract numerators and the whole number, but you keep the denominator the same. However, you cannot subtract 2 and 3 in this case, so you need to change 2 2/4 to 1 5/4 (they are still equivalent)
3) 1 5/4 - 3/4 = 1 2/4, which simplified version is 1 1/2
Therefore, the answer is 1 and 1/2
