Well if it pumps 4 2/5 per minute that is equal to 4 4/10 in a minute or 4.4 because you multiply the top and bottom of the fraction by two. it’s still the same fraction but it is easy to convert to a decimal now. you could use this fraction but it’s much easier to use decimals. Because the first number is a decimal you should make the second one a decimal too. To do this you need to know that 1/4 of 100 is 25. so now we have these numbers and all you do now is divide 17.25 by 4.4 which could be rounded to 4 because it’s a long decimal
Answer:
22.05 mi.²
Step-by-step explanation:
A = bh
A = (4.5 mi)(4.9 mi)
A = 22.05 mi.²
Answer:
(p,r) = (1/3, 2/9)
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to solve a system of equations
We can rewrite the second equation by dividing through by 2
So we have;
4p + 3r = 2
and
5p - 3r = 1
Add both equations:
9p = 3
p = 3/9
p = 1/3
Recall ;
5p - 3r = 1
3r = 5p - 1
Substitute the value or p here
3r = 5(1/3)-1
3r = 5/3 - 1
3r = 2/3
r = 2/9
So we have the solution set as;
(p,r) = (1/3 , 2/9)
Let us start with assuming the amount of coffee worth $20 a pound to be "x" pounds.
Now she wants to mix "x" pounds of $20 coffee with 70 pounds of $90 coffee.
So the mixture would be (x + 70) pounds.
And the value of mixture would be = 20·x + (90)·(70) = (20x + 6300) dollars.
She want to sell this mixture at rate of $30 a pound. Her earning would be = 30·(x + 70) = (30x + 2100) dollars.
We know that the value of mixture would be equal to her earnings.
30x + 2100 = 20x + 6300
30x - 20x = 6300 - 2100
10x = 4200
x = 420
So, 420 pounds of $20 coffee would be used.
