Answer:

14 pints of 20% pure fruit juice and 56 pints of 95% pure fruit juice  be used to make 70 pints of a mixture that is 80% pure fruit juice

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the volume of 20% pure fruit juice be x pints

Let the volume of 95% pure fruit juice be y pints

Total volume drink company desires to make = 70 pints

x + y = 70 ...[1]

Volume of Juice in 20% pure fruit juice = 20% of x = 0.2x pints

Volume of Juice in 95% pure fruit juice = 95% of y = 0.95y pints

Volume of fruit juice in 70 pints = 80% of 70 pints = 0.08 × 70 pints

0.2x pints + 0.95y pints = 0.08 × 70 pints

4x + 19y = 1,120....[2]

On solving [1] and [2] we get:

x = 14 pints , y = 56 pints

14 pints of 20% pure fruit juice and 56 pints of 95% pure fruit juice  be used to make 70 pints of a mixture that is 80% pure fruit juice

Answer:

14 pints of 20% juice

56 pints of 95% juice

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x be pints of 20% pure fruit juice, thus

70 - x   will be pints of 95% pure fruit juice

The equation, thus can be written as:

20%x + 95% (70-x) = 80% (70)

Solving for x:

(0.2)x + (0.95)(70-x) = (0.8)(70)\\0.2x+66.5-0.95x=56\\0.75x=10.5\\x=14

And 70 - x would be 70 - 14 = 56

Thus,

14 pints of 20% juice is needed, and

56 pints of 95% juice is needed

A student simplifies the given expression. Which statement BEST describes the error in the student's work? 12 + 24 ÷ 6(4) 36 ÷ 2
Marrrta [24]
A. The student added before multiplying.
If they had multiplied 6 and 4 first, the next step would have been too divide. But since they added first, they got 36/24 or 3/2 when the answer should be 13.

4/3x + 1/6x = 36 (solve for x please help I have no idea what it is!!!!!!!
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{4}{3}x + \frac{1}{6}x = 36

Make the denominator the same by multiplying the first fraction by 2 to make both denominators 6.

\frac{8}{6}x + \frac{1}{6}x = 36

Now we can calculate the numerators and keep the denominators the same.

\frac{9}{6}x = 36

Find x.

\frac{6}{6}x = \frac{6}{9} × 36

x = 24
