Answer:

14 : 21

Step-by-step explanation:

---> 2:3 ----> 2+3=5

---> Stick's length = 35 inches

For the first portion

2/5 x 35

2/1 x 7

= 14 inches

For the second portion

3/5 x 35

3/1 x 7

= 21 inches

To confirm: 14 + 21 = 35 inches

14 : 21

Divide both by 7

2 : 3

What is the price per lb of brand X coffee if 3 lb were mixed with 9 lb of brand Y coffee which costs $18/lb to make 12 lb of Ka

Georgia [21]

Answer:

$14 per lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Brand Y = $18 / lb
Special Blend = $17 / lb

Let x be the price per lb of brand X coffee

3 lbs of brand X coffee + 9 lb of brand Y coffee = 12 lbs of special blend

⇒ 3x + 9(18) = 12(17)

⇒ 3x + 162 = 204

⇒ 3x = 42

⇒ x = 14

Therefore, brand X costs $14 per lb

Need to write steps and solve thanks

Answer:

The coordinates of endpoint V is (7,-27)

Solution:

Given that the midpoint of line segment UV is (5,-11) And U is (3,5).

To find the coordinates of V.

The formula for mid-point of a line segment is as follows,

Midpoint of UV is $\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}$ , $\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}$

As per the formula, $\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}$ =5, $\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}$ =-11

Here $x_{1}=3; y_{1}=5$

Substituting the value of $x_{1}$ we get,

$\frac{3+x_{2}}{2}$ =5

$3+x_{2}=5\times2$

$x_{2}=10-3$

$x_{2}=7$

Substituting the value of $x_{2}$ we get,

$\frac{5+y_{2}}{2}$ =-11

$5+y_{2}=-11\times2$

$y_{2}=-22-5$

$y_{2}=-27$

So, the coordinates of V is (7,-27)
