Answer:

It's just a simultaneous equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a big bag of sugar = x

Let a small bag of flour = y

x+x+y = 12kg

2x+y = 12kg ... 1

x-y = 2kg ... 2

Add 1 and 2

2x+y = 12

+

<u> </u><u> </u><u>x</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>y</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u> </u><u>2</u>

3x = 14

x = 14/3 = <u>4.66</u>

Substitute value of x into 1

2(4.66)+y = 12

9.333 + y = 12

12 - 9.333= 12

y = <u>2</u><u>.</u><u>6</u><u>6</u>

Hope you understand it

And I hope my answer was of help to you.

Mary​'s car will go 261 miles on 14.5 gallons of gasoline in highway driving.
suter [353]

Answer:

a) 91 1/6 gallons

b) 2502 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given a number of miles and a number of gallons for the car. The ratio of these numbers is ...

  (261 mi)/(14.5 gal) = 18 mi/gal

We presume this value is constant for this car. Then the questions can be answered by forming and solving a proportion:

a) 1641 miles/(gallons) = 18 mi/(1 gal)

Multiplying by gallons and dividing by 18 mi/gal, we get

  1641/18 gal = (gallons) = 91 1/6 gal

It will take 91 1/6 gallons of gasoline for Mary to drive to her friend's house.

___

b) Same deal, but the miles are unknown.

  (miles)/(139 gal) = (18 mi)/(1 gal)

Multiplying by 139 gal gives ...

  (18 mi)·139 = (miles) = 2502 mi

139 gallons of gasoline will let Mary drive 2502 miles.
