Answer:

23 pounds of the Gualtemala Antigua Blend and 37 pounds of the Tanzanian Blend

Step-by-step explanation:

you need to make a system of equations to solve this.

First lets make x be the pounds of Gualtemala Antigua coffee blend and y the pounds of Tanzanian coffee blend

we know we need 60 pounds total so first equation is

x+y=60

Next we will make an equation based on the money information

10.30x + 13.80y = 12.46(60)

10.30x + 13.80y = 747.60

So our system of equations is

x + y = 60

10.30x + 13.80y = 747.60

I will solve this by using substitution. first rewrite x+y=60 to y=60-x

now i can substitute that into the other equation for y and solve for x

10.30x + 13.80(60-x) = 747.60

10.30x + 828 -13.80x = 747.60

-3.5x + 828 = 747.60

-3.5x = -80.4

x = 23  (rounded from 22.9714 since they requested that)

now I can use this solution to solve for y by plugging into one of the original equations

x + y =60

23 + y =60

y = 37

Finally we can say that they must mix 23 pounds of the Gualtemala Antigua Blend and 37 pounds of the Tanzanian Blend.

Bob's password consists of a non-negative single-digit number followed by a letter and another non-negative single-digit number
maw [93]

9/20 is the probability that Bob's password consists of an odd single-digit number followed by a letter and a positive single-digit number

It is given that bob's password consists of a non-negative single-digit number followed by a letter and another non-negative single-digit number (which could be the same as the first one).

P (odd single digit number )  =  ( 5 odd single digits / 10 non-negative single digits)  = (5/10)  = 1/2

P (positive single digit number ) =  (9 positive single digits / 10 non-negative single digits)  = 9/10

The total probability is   (1/2) (9/10)  =  9/20

Jeffery babysits for 4 dollars per hour, he also works as a math tutor for 7 dollars per hour. He is only allowed to work 13 hou
Oksana_A [137]

Given:

Jeffery babysits for 4 dollars per hour and works as a math tutor for 7 dollars per hour.

He is only allowed to work 13 hours total per week.

He wants to make at least 65 dollars.

To find:

The system of inequalities to represent this situation.

Solution:

Let x be the number of hours he babysits per week and y be the number of hours h works as a math tutor.

He is only allowed to work 13 hours total per week.  It means sum of x and y must be less than or equal to 13.

x+y\leq 13

He wants to make at least 65 dollars. It means total earnings must be greater than or equal to 65.

4x+7y\geq 65

Number of hours can not be negative.

x\geq 0, y\geq 0.

Therefore, the required system of inequalities contains some equations,  x+y\leq 13,4x+7y\geq 65 and x, y\geq 0.
