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

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

2291,94 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we need to consider the distance 2.39x10^5 miles as the distance between the center of the earth and the center of the moon, if not we would need to know the radius of the earth and the moon.

If the distance is 2.39x10^5 miles, the orbit is = 2.Pi.(2.39x10^5) miles=1501681.288miles

It takes 27.3 days, that are, 27.3*24= 655.2hours

1501681.288miles/655.2hours= 2291.94 mph
