A pro baseball team is having a promotion in which every 10th fan that enters the stadium gets a free hat and every 12th person
mixas84 [53]
Multiples of 10 = 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60
This means the 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, ... fan will get a free hat.
Multiples of 12 = 12, 24, 36, 48, 60
This means the 12th, 24th, 36th, 48th, 60th, ... fan will get a free shirt.
So the 60th fan will receive both a hat and a shirt.
Meaning 60 fans will come to the stadium before a fan receives both a hat and a shirt.

A contractor combined x tons of a gravel mixture that contained 10 percent gravel G, by weight, with y tons of a mixture that co
White raven [17]

Answer:

The value of x would be \frac{3}{5}y or \frac{3}{8}z

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

x tons of 10% gravel G mixture is mixed with y ton of 2% gravel G to obtain  5% gravel mixture,

Thus, gravel G in x ton + gravel in y ton = gravel G in the resultant mixture,          

⇒ 0.1x + 0.02y = 0.05(x+y),

0.1x - 0.05x = 0.05y - 0.02y

0.05x = 0.03y

\implies x = \frac{0.03}{0.05}y=\frac{3}{5}y----(1)

Now, resultant mixture is z ton,

i.e. z=x+y

\implies y = z - x

From equation (1),

x=\frac{3}{5}(z-x) = \frac{3}{5}z-\frac{3}{5}x

x+\frac{3}{5}x=\frac{3}{5}z

\frac{8}{5}x=\frac{3}{5}z

x=\frac{3}{8}z
