Answer:

121 new cans can eventually be made from 243 aluminum cans

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate defined as the rates are expressed as a quantity 1 such as 2 miles per second or 5 kilometer per hour.

As per the statement:

Three aluminum cans can be recycled to make a new can.

Unit rate per aluminium can = \frac{1}{3} new can

We have to find the new cans can eventually be made from 243 aluminum cans.

By definition of unit rate;

\text{Number of new cans made from 243 cans} = \text{Unit rate per aluminium can} \times 243

Substitute the given values we have;

\text{Number of new cans made from 243 cans} = \frac{1}{3} \times 243 = 81

Again do the same process:

Number of new can made from 81 can  is \frac{1}{3} \cdot 81 = 27

Similarly,

Number of new cans made from 27 can = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 27 = 9

Number of new cans made from 9 can =\frac{1}{3} \cdot 9 = 3

Number of new cans made from 3 can =  \frac{1}{3} \cdot 3 = 1

Now, No further new can made.

Therefore, total new can made from 243 is 81+27+9+3+ 1 =121 cans

The sum of two consecutive even integers is 106. What are the integers?
Kruka [31]

Answer:

The integers are 52 and 54

Step-by-step explanation:

x = first even integer

x + 2 = next integer that is even

x + x + 2 = 106

2x + 2 = 106

2x = 104

x = 52

x + 2 = 54

The Royal Fruit Company produces two types of fruit drinks. The first type is 55% pure fruit juice, and the second type is 80% p
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

First type of fruit drinks: 48 pints

Second type of fruit drinks: 32 pints

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call A the amount of first type of fruit drinks. 55% pure fruit juice

Let's call B the amount of second type of fruit drinks. 80% pure fruit juice

The resulting mixture should have 65% pure fruit juice and 80 pints.

Then we know that the total amount of mixture will be:

A + B = 80

Then the total amount of pure fruit juice in the mixture will be:

0.55A + 0.8B = 0.65 * 80

0.55A + 0.8B = 52

Then we have two equations and two unknowns so we solve the system of equations. Multiply the first equation by -0.8 and add it to the second equation:

-0.8A -0.8B = -0.8*80

-0.8A -0.8B = -64

-0.8A -0.8B = -64

               +

0.55A + 0.8B = 52

--------------------------------------

-0.25A = -12

A = \frac{-12}{-0.25}

A = 48\ pints

We substitute the value of A into one of the two equations and solve for B.

48 + B = 80

B = 32\ pints
