Answer:

$y=\frac{2}{3}x$ is the required equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

If $y$ represents the number of feet and $x$ represents the number of inches, we get the given statement "2 inches = 3 feet" in mathematical equation as:

$2x = 3y$

Solving this equation for $y$ will give us the required equation.

Actual dimensions are:

$Width\:=\:\frac{2}{3}\left(12\right)=8\:feet\\\\Length\:=\:\frac{2}{3}\left(24\right)=16\:feet$

A coffee mixture contains beans that sell for $0.08 per pound and $0.32 per pound. If 110 pounds of beans create a mixture that

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

B = 87.08 pounds @ $0.32

A = 22.92 pounds @ $0.08

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

cost of beans (A)= $ 0.08/pound

and another beans cost (B) = $ 0.32 /pound

total weight of the pound = 110 pound

selling price of mixture = $ 0.27/pound

cost of each bean = ?

A + B = 110

A = 110 - B-------(1)

0.08 A + 0.32 B = 0.27 x 110

0.08 A + 0.32 B = 29.7

Putting value of A

0.08(110 - B) + 0.32 B = 29.7

8.8 - 0.08 B + 0.32 B = 29.7

0.24 B = 20.9

B = 87.08 pounds @ $0.32

A = 22.92 pounds @ $0.08

Two gardeners can do the weekly yard maintenance in 8 minutes if they work together. The older gardener takes 12 minutes more th

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Let x be the time taken( in minutes ) by younger gardener,

So, the one minute work of younger gardener = $\frac{1}{x}$

Also, the time taken by older gardener = (x+12) minutes ( given ),

So, the one minute work of older gardener = $\frac{1}{x+12}$

Total work done in one minute = $\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x+12}$

Now, total time taken = 8 minutes,

Total work done in one minute = $\frac{1}{8}$

Thus,

$\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x+12}=\frac{1}{8}$

$\frac{x+12+x}{x^2+12x}=\frac{1}{8}$

$\frac{2x+12}{x^2+12x}=\frac{1}{8}$

$16x + 96 = x^2+12x$

$x^2 -4x -96=0$

$x^2 - 12x + 8x - 96=0$

$x(x-12) + 8(x-12)=0$

$(x+8)(x-12)=0$

By zero product product property,

x + 8 =0 or x - 12 =0

⇒ x = -8 ( not possible ), x = 12

Hence, the time taken by younger gardener = 12 minutes,

And, the time taken by older gardener = 12 + 12 = 24 minutes.
