0.14x + 0.07(280-x) = 0.08*280

0.14x + 19.6-0.07x = 22.4

0.07x + 19.6 = 22.4

0.07x = 2.8
x = 2.8 / 0.07 = 40
 x = 40 pounds of Soybean
280 -40 = 240 of cornmeal

Find the most common ratio 72,12,2, 1/3,1/18
liraira [26]

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the common ratio, you compare a few pairs of consecutive terms, by dividing an element by its predecessor.

12 / 72 = 1/6

2 / 12 = 1 / 6

1/3 / 2 = 1 / 6

The ratio is constant... so that's your common ratio to go from one term to the next.  

To go from one term to the next, you have to multiply by 1/6.

2 fractions between 3/5 and 4/5
Tasya [4]
Convert the fractions to decimals:

3/5=0.6
4/5=0.8

You have to find 2 fractions between these 2 numbers. You could pick anything.

7/10= 0.7 = less than 0.8 but greater than 0.6

75/100=0.75 = less than 0.8 but greater than 0.6

Hope this helps
