Question

Chevy has some yarn that he wants to use to make hats and scarves. Each hat uses 0.20.20, point, 2 kilograms of yarn and each scarf uses 0.10.10, point, 1 kilograms of yarn. Chevy wants to use 222 kilograms of yarn to make a total of 151515 items. Let hhh be the number of hats Chevy makes and sss be the number of scarves he makes. Which system of equations represents this situation? Choose 1 answer:

Answer 1

Answer:

The system of equation that represent this situations are;

$\left \{ {{h+s=15} \atop {0.2h+0.1s=2}} \right.$

Also 5 hats and 10 scarves can be prepared from 2 kg of yarn.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of hat Chevy makes be h.

Also Let number of scarves Chevy makes be s.

Given:

Total Amount of yarns = 2 kg

Total number of items = 15

Since Items need to make are hat and scarves.

Hence the equation can be represented as;

$h+s=15 \ \ \ \ equation \ 1$

Again Given:

Each hat uses 0.2 kilograms of yarn.

each scarf uses 0.1 kilograms of yarn.

Hence the equation can be represented as;

$0.2h+0.1s=2 \ \ \ \ \ equation \ 2$

Hence the system of equation that represent this situations are;

$\left \{ {{h+s=15} \atop {0.2h+0.1s=2}} \right.$

Now Solving these to find number of hats and number of scarves.

Multiplying equation 2 with 10 we get;

$10(0.2h+0.1s)=2\times 10\\10\times0.2h+10\times0.1s=20\\2h+s =20 \ \ \ \ \ equation \ 3$

Now Subtracting equation 1 from equation 3 we get;

$(2h+s)- (h+s) =20-15\\2h+s-h-s=5\\h= 5$

Now Substituting the value of h in equation 1 we get;

$h+s= 15\\5+s =15\\s=15-5\\s=10$

Hence 5 hats and 10 scarves can be prepared from 2 kg of yarn.
