2 answers:

5 0

First, we must understand why the three other choices are not mixtures. Salt is a compound made from elements Sodium and Chlorine. Aluminum is an element. Carbon dioxide is also a compound composed of Carbon and Oxygen. Now, gasoline. is substance made from refined crude oils (or hydrocarbons). As a matter of fact, gasoline is an example of a homogenous mixture. Thus, amongst the choices, the mixture would be gasoline<span>. </span>

A farmer is going to divide her 30 acre farm between two crops. Seed for corn costs $15 per acre. Seed for wheat costs $30 per a

Deffense [45]

Answer:

$3200

Step-by-step explanation:

The total area of land is 30 acre. Let x represent the area in acre that corn is planted and y represent the area in acre that wheat is planted. Therefore:

x + y = 30 (1)

Also, the farmer can spend at most $750 on seeds. Corn cost $15 per acre, maize cost $30 per acre. Hence:

15x + 30y ≤ 750 (2)

Also, x and y > 0

The profit is given by the function:

Profit = 100x + 110y

Graphing equation 1 and equation 2 and solving, we get the points:

(10, 20)

Hence the maximum profit is at:

Max profit = 100(10) + 110(20) = $3200

Sati [7]

Answer:

$\frac{2}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A car starts with a dull tank of gas

1/7 of the gas has been used around the city.

With the rest of the gas in the car, the car can travel to and from Ottawa three times.

Question asked:

What fractions of a tank of gas does each complete trip to Ottawa use?

Solution:

Fuel used around the city = $\frac{1}{7}$

Remaining fuel after driving around the city = 1 - $\frac{1}{7}$

= $\frac{7 - 1}{7} = \frac{6}{7}$

According to question:

As from the rest of the gas in the car that is $\frac{6}{7}$ , the car can complete 3 trip to Ottawa which means,

By unitary method:

The car can complete 3 trip by using = $\frac{6}{7}$ tank of gas.

The car can complete 1 trip by using = $\frac{6}{7} \div 3$

= $\frac{6}{7} \times\frac{1}{3}$

= $\frac{6}{21}$

= $\frac{2}{7}$ tank of gas

Thus, $\frac{2}{7}$ tank of gas used for each complete trip to Ottawa.

The third term of an arithmetic sequence is 14 and the 9th term is -1. Find the first four terms of the sequence.

Liula [17]

Answer:

The first four terms of the sequence are : 19, 16.5 , 14 , 11.5

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given sequence:

a(3) = 14, a(9) = -1

The general term of a sequence in Arithmetic Progression is:

a(n) = a + (n-1)d

a(3) = a + (3 -1) d = a + 2 d

and a(9) = a + (9- 1 ) d = a + 8 d

⇒ a + 2 d = 14 ......... (1)

and a + 8 d = -1 ........... (2)

Now, solving the given system of equation, we get:

From (1), a = 14 - 2 d

Put in (2), we get:

a + 8 d = -1 ⇒ 14 - 2 d + 8d = -1

⇒ 14 + 6d = -1

or, 6d = -1 -14 = -15

⇒ d = -15/6 = -2.5

or, d = -2.5

Then a = 14 - 2 d = 14 - 2(-2.5) =14 + 5 = 19, or a = 19

Now, first four terms of the sequence is:

a = 19

a(2) = a + 4 = 19 - 2.5 = 16.5

a(3) = a + 2d = 19 + 2(-2.5) = 19 - 5 = 14

a(4) = a + 3d = 19 + 3(-2.5) = 19 - 7.5 = 11.5

Hence, the first four terms of the sequence are : 19, 16.5 , 14 , 11.5
